okay WOW, this might be hard to understand so bare with me!! alright i was gonna take my clutch out and change it because its slipping into gear bad, but after getting the clutch out i found out its still good, so i proceded to take it off anyway to get to those clutch plates (if thats what their called, thiers 5 of them then a steel disc between each of them). but after taking them apart i found out thier in good shape to, so i slaped it all back together, and now it wont move when in first gear, you can feel it try but cant. my question is, with those clutch plates theirs 4 screws and springs you tighten down, how much do you tighten them, and how can you tell if one is tighter than the other? right now i got them tightened all the way down and i'm thinking thats why it wont move, cuz right now its Defeating the purpose of having the springs! another thing i'm gonna try in the morning is take the centrifugal clutch and turn it around cuz i might have put it in backwards! but my main concern is those 4 screws and springs, i dont remember how tight they were before i took them out :cry: and i dont have the shop manual but its not hard to work with its just remembering how it was before lol

They should be snugged all the way down. You probably have the front plate rotated by a notch and its not closing all the way. The splines on the plate have to line up with those on the inner clutch basket.

awww man thank you so much for your help, i've took it apart 2 times this morning, and havent had any luck. i'll check and see about what you said, cuz yea i remember those clutch plates being more tight together, now thier REALLY loose, i bet its not in all the way. i was kinda waiting for a reply cuz i was going to go riding with a bunch of ppl and their 4 wheelers, so i wanted to get it done as soon as i could! Thanks again
