It's the multi piece rod then and mating points inside the shaft got ate up and mushroomed, won't come past the bushing in the end of the shaft. Clutch cable adjustment being too tight was the usual culprit on that failure

I'm glad Dan and 86 weighed in and confirmed what Mike said in post #4
I had '98 - up clutch basket and starter conversion in my head. That and having never converted one to spline shaft I got the OP confused in post #10, so my apologies for that.

I might as well if I have everything apart. The starter was beginning to give me issues.

If you want to go that route updating the primary covers??, the newer starter set up is much better, and newer clutch primary set up 95-2007 which is also better, but you will also have to deal modifying the transmission case starter hole!

We met the other day and it's really how much you want to do/spend. Mike is really knowledgeable and has gave you some really good routes you can go.
Don't worry about the race, a dremel can easily get that out and it doesn't matter if you hit the shaft because well, it's f'd anyways haha. As far as the socket for your front sprocket and trans I can get you those easy, takes no time to do both.
If you keep your starter set up you can rebuild your bike with a splined shaft and clutch components for reasonably cheap.
