High Gear Grind – 04 Sportsman 600

My new to me 04 Sportsman 600 has the dreaded high gear grind. It won't even go in for me. When I try to slide it into high at a complete stop it just grinds until I put it back in low etc. I've tried being patient and finesse it etc, but no Bueno. I'll pull off the outer cover and check it out first, but it just seems more like it'll be the gear.
I watched a youtube vid that showed a guy swapping out the high gear which is I'm sure what I'll have to do. The problem is that he doesn't know the part number. I have the service manual, but the trans exploded view is terrible.
Can someone tell me what the part number is for the high gear and how many teeth it has? Not that it should matter, but it's an early 2004 machine. The only difference in the tranny is where the fill and drain plugs are located.

Thanks.

2011 Sportsman 500 HO Replacement Seat Cover

Just curious what seat covers you guys would recommend or to avoid? What years will all fit the 2011 500 HO?
Was also curious if there is a gripper seat cover available, one that is not as smooth as the stock cover and slick?

Thanks

Pro Armor

Anyone have any experience with Pro Armor wheels and/or tires? I’ve asked a few questions about sizing and I like the size that come factory on the SP models of the sportsman. These are 26/9-14 and 26/11-14 on a 14x6 front and 14x8 rear. What do you guys think, worth getting?
