What steps should I take? Help!
definitely not a shift fork if bike shifts normally.

to remove clutch basket and hub:

remover outer cover
remove 6 spring screws.
remove springs, pull pressure plate off, remove clutch plates. remove pushrod (carefull - might have a bearing on the end - can't remember...i work on too many motors..).
unbend hub center lock nut lock.
zip clutch hub nut off with rattle gun.

remove hub - pay attention to spacer location
remove basket - pay attention to spacer location, and be careful with bearing/bushings.

inspect clutch hub and basket for wear. check basket cush for slop (gear should not move independent of basket..)

then take a look at your other hub and basket. put the best combination back in there.
