Default Clutch Problem

Something must have broke. I had an excessive amount of freeplay and was taking some out. When I pulled the lever in and out I could hear a clicking sound down at the clutch pack. At this point I still had some freeplay. After the fourth or fifth time pulling it in something let loose and the lever went back to the grip and now I've got a slack cable. I'm leaning away from broken cable mainly due to the clicking noise from the clutch pack before it let loose.

Any ideas before I tear into it, ball and ramp maybe? FYI, it's an SE spring, easy pull ramp, Energy One clutch pack and a VPC.

Thanks,
Rick

Have you inspected the actual clutch?

Could the lock nut have come loose?

It turned out to be the throw out bearing.
