2019 Ranger 1000 XP Crew hard shifting, broken 3 shift handles

Moving over from Ranger Forums. I'm having problems with hard shifting, can't go from R up, have to put back in park then bump/slam up to L/H, if doesnt go into H have to go back to park and try again, even rolling while shifting its hard. I've broken 3 shifter handles now with the cheap cast zinc handle. The continued stress and it eventually gives up the ghost.

I have Gillomens clutch kit, 2 way bearing, EBS lockout shim, clutches aligned, no secondary spinning in P or N, HW belt. Shifter glides easy when disconnected from bell crank. With belt off there is no change in shifting, still hard as crap. So then someone suggested it could be the detent star and pawl here


So I opened this up, everything intact here:


So without the spring in I can shift easy with one hand using the bell crank, as soon as I put spring back in its like its binding up or too much pressure on the pawl-detent star. I am ordering a new pawl in case thats it? but roller seems fine. Suggestions?

Another note my HW belt squeals a bit when easing on gas to creep around until get enough RPM to make it grab, mostly on a slight incline, maybe 10-20 miles on it so far. If HW has any suggestions.

Thanks

After replacing the broken shift cable it fixed the problem. So I assume it was something with shift cable causing the bind up. Every now and then under load it can be hard to get out of reverse or low.
