FACK YOU.. my engine is in pieces and I mean pieces.. i will be splitting the case this weekend to see what the hell is wrong with the tranny. Engine is sitting in my basement, All case covers are off, cylinder is off, piston is off, shift arm is out, kickstarter is out.. all i need to do now is pull a few more small things out and then split the case.. man this sucks. hopefully it will be an obvious issue once I split the case..
