I've run into this situation where my clutch doesn't disengage while my lever is pulled. I found a few mentions of the clutch nut holding the basket backing off - I ran out of time today and need to get a tool to hold the hub, but based on this picture would you say this is the culprit (still seems sort of threaded in?) If it had backed off, would I be able to notice it by being able to slide the basket back and front?
How would the nut backing off affect the plunger rod in the middle from being able to pull the clutch plates away?
I also noticed that I was able to activate the little lever that operates the clutch (the one with the spring above the clutch case cover, not the handlebar one) with my fingers and only seemed to feel spring tension. Could it be that the mechanism isn't connecting to the plunger at all? (The black rod thing inside the cover that attaches to the plunger) I would have expected more force required in order to pull the plates apart.
I'd appreciate any help and thoughts on this, thanks!
