: Weird Clicking Noise From 02 600 Mxzx

We rode for a few hours yesterday, and for the last hour or so the sled was making a pronounced clicking noise (racheting noise) especially when you slow down to almost nothing
then when the clutch is about to engage (starting from standstill) it kind of lurches to the beat of the racheting track noise
I am not a mechanic, I just ride
before this happened I tightened up the front shock (higher track tension?)
I went for a barrel roll with the sled also before I noticed the noise, there was no physical damage that I noticed (hood, windshield) and it flipped one sideways revolution and rolled back to right side up, I thought I noticed a different vibration at higher speeds (70 mph or so)
anyone familiar with this noise ?????????????????
it sounds like the driver is out a whack (no not me!) for the track or something
any help would be appreciated? thanks

Yes, check the belt, cause it makes a scary noise, and it's just the belt
