the other day i started up my 400 after riding awhile and when i pulled in the clutch something snaped in the case, the cable is fine, the clutch is very easy to pull back and it slowly returns back, what broke in the case?

 

Pin Clutch Lifter
22847-HN1-000
About $8

 

Yeah, that happened to me before. the part is under $8, but the gasket is $13. That's how they get ya.

 

id check the out drive gear for the reverse rotator

 

Pretty sure the same thing just happened to the 2001 this past week at Hatfield McCoy. I was all set to replace the clutch cable, the usual culprit, but noticed it was fine. My girlfriend said she went to pull the clutch in and felt a snap. I rode it back to the trailer which was located about 10 miles away. I was able to shift without a clutch and it rode back just fine.

So, any special tools required for replacing this part?

same thign happend to me...pleasure4qt is right... all that needed to be replaced was the pin and now its fine

 

same thing happened to me. very very easy to replace.

 

Disassembled tonight and that was the problem. Hardest part was figuring out the broken off piece was still in the right crankcase cover. This prevented me from being able to pull the lever clutch out of the right crankcase cover. I had to tap the case on the Honda logo with a hammer to get this piece to fall out. I tried to work it out with a small screw driver but no luck.

Plan to order a spare gasket and pin clutch lifter for my spare parts inventory. By the way, there is a new part number since the original post - 22847-HN1-010.

List price is $8.82, Service Honda sells for $6.69.

No special tools are required.

Thanks for the responses.
