What is wrong with yours exactly? I’m an OEM fan, but you need some special tools which isn’t cheap. If and when I go from OEM, probably doing a HW primary.

 

Watching and learning.

 

Well, congratulations! You have the same General as I do. The 2016 Deluxe. I'm guessing that you bought the machine used? How many miles on the machine?
If the previous owner didn't keep the CVT housing, clutches and belt free of dust. Then indeed your Primary clutch may well be wearing out. The question is whether it's just the consumable
pieces that are wearing out, or if the major components are worn too. Way back in my 2008 RZR 800 days, before learning to keep the cutches clean...I did wear out a clutch as some of the main, fixed in place components, made contact with moving components and the Magnesium got rubbed, ground, away.
Just a quick Google search for clutch rebuild kits found Harveysatvparts on ebay selling brand new Primary clutches for $299 and says they have them for 2106 - 2021 Generals.
I'm thinking this might well be the best option for the money.
Just a thought,

You have to be careful when purchasing clutches, too many are the Chinese made thin junk.
Best spend your money @Hunterworks and get what you pay for.

 

Never done anything major on my Ranger or General clutches, just weights and springs on them.

Snowmobiles... those I have done full R&R. Same clutch for the most part.

As said above, you will need some tools. Clutch puller, spider nut tool, spider tool, a way to hold it down really well (290 ft lbs of force well)

Parts diagram for a 2017 clutch as i cannot find a 16 blow up

When I do sled clutches, I change 17, 5, 4, 2, 6, inspect 15 for play, and in the case of a real bearing on a General I would also change 9.

17 - $15
5 - $15ea (need 6)
4 - $3ea (need 6)
2 - $50ea (need 3)
6 - $12
15 - $25 (need 3)
9 - $40

So you will be $400 into parts if your clutch is completely wore out. Some items like the weights and the spring can be changed without pulling or splitting the clutch at any time.
You will also have consumables like scotch bright pads, specific 242 or 243 locktite with primer, and 648 retaining compound (again, assuming that stuff is the same on a General as a sled)

No #3 with new rollers?
