Changed helix in sled,now makes horrible noise we put in reverse and doesn't back up. Looks like clutch opens up and the belt slips.It is a ER helix. Anyone know what the problem is?

did the helix have a cutout at the end of the ramp to facilitate the reverse? If it didn't have that, you don't have a reverse helix.

Helix is the ER style with the reverse notches. Some times it works and others the belt slips because the clutch opens up.

I had this exact same thing happen to me the other week. I had just installed a helix that TEAM sent me and this started to happen. I called TEAM and they looked on the shelf and there were a bunch of helixes that say ER on the the back of the helix but the helix actually does NOT have the reverse notch cut into it. The clutch opens wide open and will not go anywhere, it just slips the belt.

Mine works 50% of the time. Just put new helix in, never had any problem before
when i put a new team helix on my 900 it would work part of the time. then i looked at the actual notch and the notch on the stock sewcondary was about twice as deep as the new helix i had gotten. so i wound up cutting the reverse notch deeper on the new helix, about half as far as the stock one. i did it with a dremel tool and a lot of patience. it actually wasn't that bad of a job.
but w/o notching it deeper, if i gave it just a lil to much throttle in reverse it would throw the secondary wide open and smoke the belt.

WOW sounds like some real quality control issues at team

Finally got around to taking apart my team clutch and compared both helix's. The old one has bigger notch with a little hook on the tip to keep the roller in. I can see why the roller on the new one comes out.
Looks like a return is in order. What angle helix? Spent a couple of days in Pr. George in Aug-must be hard to decide which direction to go sledding. Beautiful country, big mtns.
Noticed the fire hydrants up a couple of feet so you must get some snow in town too.
