GOLKNHA Primary & Drive Clutch Needle Bearing for Polaris UTV/ATV — OEM 3514609, includes 2 washers, hardened steel

GOLKNHA Primary & Drive Clutch Needle Bearing (OEM 3514609) is a direct-replacement bearing kit engineered to restore smooth clutch operation and reduce friction in a wide range of Polaris UTV and ATV models.

If your Polaris Ranger, RZR, General, Sportsman, Scrambler or ACE is showing clutch noise, vibration, or inconsistent engagement, the bearing in the primary/drive clutch is a common wear item. This GOLKNHA kit includes the needle bearing and two bearing washers made from hardened bearing steel to handle radial loads and extend service life. It’s sold as a single primary clutch driven needle bearing plus two washers and is designed to match OEM fitment (OEM# 3514609) for a range of Polaris model years and trims.

How does this needle bearing improve clutch performance?

The needle bearing reduces rotational friction between clutch components, helping the drive clutch run truer and with less heat. By carrying radial loads and keeping parts aligned, it minimizes wobble and uneven wear that can lead to noise and inconsistent engagement.

• Lower friction for smoother engagement and release
• Improved load distribution reduces premature wear
• Vibration and noise dampening from accurate component positioning
• Hardened bearing steel extends operational life under load

What’s included in the package and what are the materials?

The kit ships with one primary clutch driven needle bearing (OEM 3514609) and two bearing washers (OEM 7556335). All parts are manufactured from bearing-grade steel to meet strength and durability expectations for powertrain components.

• 1x primary driven needle bearing, precision-machined
• 2x bearing washers sized for correct stack-up and clearance
• Bearing steel construction for load capacity and wear resistance
• Packaged for one-time replacement of the clutch driven side

What should I check before installing this part?

Verify the OEM part number and your vehicle’s sub-model so the bearing matches bore and washer dimensions. Inspect the clutch housing, shaft, and surrounding components for scoring or wear — replacing associated seals, spacers or the companion clutch if heavily worn will ensure a longer-lasting repair.

• Confirm OEM# 3514609 matches your parts diagram or service manual
• Measure bore and shaft for runout or damage before press-fitting
• Replace related fasteners, spacers, or seals if corroded or damaged
• Use correct installation tools to avoid bearing or race damage
