    clutch or driveshaft?

    On my klt 160 today it died and no matter what gear it was in it would act like it was in neutral. seeing how theres no pullcord and * have to jumpstart it we were stuck. Anyways I dont know whether it would be the clutch or maybe the driveshaft broke. My friend has a replacement for bothe on a parts 185. When * push it it makes a weird spinnning noise and I know before when it warmed up the clutch slipped a little. Any ideas?

    does it have electric start ?

    can you shift thru the gears.. in Neutral and push it as easy as before ?

    and then put it in gear.. if it locks the wheels your drive shaft should be fine.

    if the clutch was gone it would run. shift and rev but not move.

    I wouldnt go in and break open the diff yet. If there is a rubber boot covering up a CV or *-Joint on your driveshaft, open it up and take a look. Put it in gear and roll it and listen to any noises coming from anywhere.
