I just purchased a ZHE JIANG TAOTAO 250CC ATV. It worked amazingly well. only problem is that after a few days I noticed that the foot shifter had broken off (faulty part) well I have to take out the shifter rod that connects the foot pedal to the engine but its not that easy because there appears to be (what looks like a clutch package) blocking the shifter rod...my question is - what's the easiest way to take out and replace the shifter rod??

A diagram would be very greatly apprieciated
