Welcome.
At this point I would assume your transmission is fine. It sounds like you need to inspect the belt and clutches on the left side under the big black shield near your left foot.
This kind of slipping could be expected on an older Polaris needing some service work to get it up to speed.

I have been looking for the right replacement belt for my '02 Xpedition 325, maybe I am missing something, but, DON"T see it in any of the parts diagrams.
As best as I can tell, either Polaris#3211069 or 3211077
Is there a difference be tween the 2?
Uh Duh, manual shifts do not have a belt...

This is the belt I picked up for our 2002 Magnum 325. Amazon currently has it for $13 net less than I paid but have not installed it. Some thinks those with notches on both sides are better.

Welcome to the lonely world of owning a manual shift Polaris. Few don't realize this model ever existed. I was at the local Polaris dealership the other day buying oil and the service manager probably still think I am crazy for saying I had a manual shift Polaris 4-wheeler.
No belt needed like on the Magnum.
Get a factory service manual. Worth every penny.
You may have solved the problem by now, but here are the basics. There is a standard clutch operated by a special trust bearing actuated by the shift lever. There is a second clutch a centrifugal clutch similar to the one on a go cart so you can stop without pulling in the clutch. There is an adjuster screw located above the shift lever like MCSEMan said.
From manual
Loosen lock nut
adjust screw out counter clockwise until resistance is felt
turn screw in clockwise 1/8-1/4 turn
tighten lock nut
As for the oil, the engine and transmission use 5.5 qts. of Polaris PP4 oil (0w/40 synthetic). If you don't use Polaris oil you should use motorcycle oil that is safe for a wet clutch. There is usually a special section at you local parts store for motorcycle oil. If previous owner used standard car oil or an oil *w/30 or less it could have caused premature clutch wear.
Good luck,
Sam
