Slip the clutch cover off and take a look at the idler gear, or the small gear on the back of the clutch basket.

i will do that thanks... but the gear stick wont move either

the idle gear is ok but i dont know how to get the oil slinger off ?

 

[warpig0470]

impact driver with proper size phillips bit in it, and there is a tool for both the oil slinger and clutch basket nut. you use a 1/2" impact to get those loose. there is a gear right behind the clutch basket you dont need to disassemble it to check it. if you take the spark plug out you can turn the engine over by hand easier. you have to look at the gear while you turn the engine over. note: there are 2 gears on the back of the clutch basket one that is almost the same diameter as the basket and 1 thats kinda hard to see. the 1 thats hard to see is the 1 you want to check
