Help - taotao quad four-wheeler clutch loose

[Bennett]

I have this taotao quad four-wheeler all of a sudden my daughter was riding it and the clutch got loose and she can't change gears. I've tried tighten it up I've watched videos. I'm a single mother/father so I don't know what else to do to tighten it up can someone help me . This is the clutch.

If you have tried tightening it with the clutch adjustment and nothing happened, maybe something has come loose on the clutch itself. You will have to take the clutch side cover off to check that out, but before you do that , try adjusting it again. I have not worked on many Toa but most clutch adjustments work loosening the lock nut, turn to left until you feel resistance and turn to the right 1/8 of a turn. When you did this did you feel resistance also when its running do you hear any noise coming from the clutch cover. Is it stuck in gear or just won't change, there is also a gearshift linkage adjustment that can get loose you might check that  before pulling the side cover.

Good for you mum/dad..  I was/am one of those too.

If you can tell us a model, or engine size, I might be able to find a service manual.

I see manuals for ATM50, pony 50, and quantum 150..  Any of those sound familiar ?

I'll check them anyway, they might be similar.

Does this bike have a clutch lever on the handlebar ?

No it just came lose and can't change gears

Oh! I just revisited your photos. I think you are talking about the foot shifter came loose. There is a bolt that holds it on the shaft it might have come out you can check that, I couldn't see if it was there in the photo.

Ah..  Good thinking Gw.  I was a bit confused.. 

Some closer photos and pointers/arrows/circles drawn on the part might help clarify..

The shifter might have stripped it's splines..  It might have to be taken off and inspecting if the end of the shaft can't be seen.

If the end of the shaft can be seen, then move the shifter and watch to see it moves the shaft fully.. no lost motion.
