Clutch cable problem

Folks, I feel like an idiot. I fabricated a pair of 2 inch riser extensions this weekend out of billet aluminum. While installing them today, I had an issue with the clutch cable so I thought I would loosen it up then reinstall and reset. I got the bars mounted ok but I simply can not manage to get the clutch cable set.
It's almost as if something happened inside the clutch its self. I took the pawl arm off the clutch stud and no matter how I position it, I can not manage to get tension on the clutch cable.

Any ideas? Could I have screwed something up inside the clutch?

 

I bet that is exactly what I have to do. Good grief, I sure wish I had known about that beforehand. I have done many bikes taking the actuator arm off the shaft, no problems. Why in the h€££ did they design it that way?

 

I do believe you can install a spring on the outside. Mr Warp is the "know" guy.

 

Let's add some people to this discussion, maybe they can help.

@idk has a link to the manual in his signature, look for one of his posts.

Ok. In the manual I downloaded, I thought one page depicted sa spring on the outside of the cable but the R3T does not. Here is a question for you . . .
So, when that shifter arm lifts that clutch IS disengaging no matter what? Is that correct? If so, I will just slide a spring on the outside of the cable. I have no interest in tearing out the clutch just reset a spring. What a nightmare of engineering but this is how the Britts do things, I had better get used to it.

 

The arm and shaft have two dimbles which are hard to see but they have to be lined up

 

Thank you. I downloaded the manual and it's a great help but no warning about an internal spring within the clutch assembly slipping off

I saw those dimples but no way they will line up. The cable is just not long enough when they line up. I will take a picture and post it.

 

Here is a pic of how things are now. No way dimples can light up.

 

On pages 4 dot 5, 6, 7 and 8 there is not one mention or depiction of an internal spring for the cable within the clutch housing. At least I could not find it.
