Are the busings shot on your secondary? How long has it been since you changed those bushings... if they are badly worn, the sheaves would **** sideways causing difficulty separating them, additionally, they will cause you driveability issues.

Could if feel if the bushing are shot? Like movement up and down?

This is best measured with a dial/digital caliper. Remove the secondary (one bolt - watch out for that key). Measure shaft using the outside jaws, and the inside using the inside jaws, the difference should be less that 0.005 inches. If more than that, probably time to rebuild that secondary (not that bad, much easier than a rebuild of the primary).
I'd suspect some experienced sled mechanics could rock the secondary "side to side" and tell if the bushings are toasted, but I prefer a more accurate assesment.
