replaced clutch cable after it broke on a ride, now clutch isnt working
Hello all, This is my first post and Im a new member. I just picked up a S65 hijet and everything was going good for the first week. While i was out for a ride my clutch cable broke, I just recieved my cable from japan and I installed it but I have no clutch, Is there something that could have come apart when the clutch cable snapped?
Thank you for any and all help.

If you crawl underneath, when you pull the clutch arm forward does it meet with resistance or is it flopping about inside?? There will be a little play up and down in the oblong access hole that you get to the arm through with the rubber cover over it.
If the whole arm moves back and forth pivoting on the clutch thrust race, then it could be the Clutch Operating Arm has become detached from its pivot point but it should be held in place by a shaped spring clip which I have seen break or become detached from the pivot point.
Another possibility is that the clutch release bearing has jammed due to wear and caused your cable to break in the first place. I haven't seen it happen on a Hi-Jet before but numerous occasions on other vehicles, both inline rear wheel drive and front wheel drive transverse gearboxes.
Most of the scenarios above are a gearbox out job which is a lot easier than it sounds. The worst bit is undoing all the bellhousing bolts. The rest is fairly simple but make sure you drain all the oil out from the lower plastic plug on the very end of the gearbox or when you drop the box onto your chest you will get Hypoid Gear Oil all over your jeans or leave the Propshaft in the end of the gearbox.

I took a quick look this morning , I unhooked the cable an moved the clutch arm back and forth, I hear a little thunk while moving the arm. could this be it is unhooked on the pivot ?
