i have a 200x and i got sick of the kickstarter not working so i tore into it. i noticed that a thrust washer was missing up against the right hand case on the output shaft and had rubbed against the case. i have another lower end that i took apart after breaking the rod so i had the washer and i put one back there where it was missing one. i have it all back together and the kickstarter still slips about the same as it did but the question is this: it runs, it shifts into gear but now the clutch seems to be slipping. no matter where i adjust it to, it slips. it feels like it slips even when i pull the cable in. it wont pull itself and once in gear i cant get it back in neutral even with the cluch drawn. it will, however, shift alright when the engine is not running. could this be a tranny problem or is it just a coinsidence that since i took the clutch apart that it is now bad. any suggestions would be much appreciated. i dont want to take it apart again unless i have to.
