What year is your sled? Any drivetrain mods? 92 secondarys werent very reliable, there was an upgrade kit made for them with new bushings. A lot of people went to the 800 jackshaft and secondary for this reason. If you get it freed up and test ride it try riding it and varying your speed a lot (not wide open just speed up and slow down a little as you ride) and stop and feel the driven clutch and see if it is hot to the touch. That would be a good indication of a bad bushing/ binding issues.

thats exactly why you take that secondary off, it binds and wont backshift, even under normal riding

You haven't posted enough information. Is it a 92-94 secondary? if it is then that is a pretty steep custom cut helix. I like vmax4rules question because if you are hill climbing and the secondary is fully shifting out then you can't have much spring tension. If it is a 92-94 secondary then there should be a washer that goes over the spline shaft before you put the helix on that prevents the secondary from opening too far.
