CLUTCH help needed

[BURKE_DADDY]

Hello, i was ridding my banshee the other day and all of a sudden there was no pressure on the clutch cable, the clutch lever moved freely with no resistance. i could pull it in freely.then it quit doing it and seemed fined,it only did this for about 50 to 100 feet while i was driving in second gear putting along then it was fine. i pulled over and was messing with the adjustment on the clutch lever when the hollow adjuster bolt broke on the cable. so i towed it home . i then looked at the clutch arm on the top of the engine where the cable hooks to and i could move it with my hands. i just took the side cover off and found one of the clutch plates wasn't in the groove like the rest were i will try to post some pictures below. my question is should i put the clutch plate back in the groove and start ridding or is this a sign of bigger problems or what shall i do.

 

thanks for the help

Just from what I'm looking @ in your pics I'd say the main clutch hub nut came off. Remove all 6 of the bolts that hold your pressure plate on and take a look, I bet that nut came off. If it did come off you will have to put it back on and get a new lock tab for the nut.

I agree. If you don't see any obvious damage when you take it apart, it's probably ok.

if all the gears on the back line up your pressure plate was not put on correctly, take off the the 6 screws and rotate the pressure plate to get it on farther.

yes the lock washer was damaged and the pressure plate hole in the middle was wallowed out a bit so i ordered a new pressure plate and lock washer, should i put some lock tite on that nut that came loose?also i dont have my cylmers with me but i remember seeing a clutch holding tool with a strap do i need it to put the clutch back on?

thank you for the help
