4pt new clutch cable now can't declutch
hello
just changed the rusty cable on my 2003 4pt and now can not get any adjustment which allows me to de-clutch gears. just a simple swap over of cables and now doesn't seem like the clutch arm is doing anything. the clutch arm will move and is slightly sprung but that's it, won't get me out of gear.
there's a bolt head under the clutch arm, can't find anything online yet about what it is.
any ideas please?

that bolt is securing clutch arm in place.
clutch arm mustn't be "slightly sprung", when properly linked with basket through the push rod.
something like this - https://i.imgur.com/zyPRgVW.jpeg but the link is geared in xt's case.
maybe that push rod is fallen back inside the basket (not sure if it's possible) or otherwise not aligned with clutch arm?

have you checked if cables (outer sheath and inner cable) are same length?
a difference of even just a few mm might throw you out of range at the adjusters.
the mech is NOT like N67 shows, it a geared system
the geared pull rod can not fall inside, so that shouldnt be the problem
the clutch arm rotates this part

the gear at the bottom of that part moves the pull rod

maybe the images will help you understand what you are doing wrong.
hope you didnt dismantle the arm form the splined shaft, if you get ib ack on the wrong position, again, it will be impossbile to adjust

I bet you have done wrong on the adjusters, you have one down on the casing and one clutchhandle. If you didnt adjust these correct its not possible to withdraw the clutch, too much slack cable.
