Hello, new to this forum but not Honda’s. I have a 83 ATC 110 that I have had a shifting problem. The issue is as follows: if the clutch cover is off I can shift thru all the gears smooth as silk. I put the clutch cover back on and I can not shift. I have a service manual and the parts are in correct order and the clutch is adjusted correctly as well. I have read many other post on correct clutch adjustment. Nothing appears bent or broke. I have had the cover off a dozen times now with the same outcome.

You've got the clutch cam plate upside down. Flip it over...

I don't see a new gasket...

You are missing a dowel pin, is it in the cover?

Take a photo of your cover so we can make sure the rest of the clutch parts (spring & plunger?) are there..?

I will post Pics of the inside of the cover. Yes I have a new gasket. Not sure on the Thrust washer. This case had never been opened until I opened it to sort the original shifting issue. I had to split the case due to the fact that the shift drums were stuck from no use and water in the case. I fixed the transmission problem. The gears all shift perfectly, smooth as silk....until the side cover is back on. All the parts appear original and match up to the OEM drawings.

Oem parts diagram does not show a thrust washer on the end of the shift shaft, It just recesses into a hole on the cover once you put it back on..
you sir, are correct !. I just looked , and no thrust washer on there ?..very odd..oh well..i stand corrected :).

Quick thought. Does this ATC have to be running and clutch spinning to shift?? Maybe? I will test it after work. Who knows?
the motor does not have to be running ?, but you do have to spin the rear wheels a tad to get the tranny to move/shift to another gear, just turn the wheels as you shift.

back the clutch adjusting bolt off all the way, install the cover on LIGHTLY !, do not tighten down any of the cover bolts, with the atc off the ground ( rear wheels ), spin them, shift through all gears, see if it shifts ?. if so ?, then tighten down the cover bolts SLOWLY ONE AT A TIME , going criss cross pattern, like you would do a car wheel, keep checking the shifting as you do this. everything I see in your pics that you posted looks ok to me ?, other than you have not posted the side cover pic ?. unless you installed something wrong inside the motor ?, I don't know what the problem is..without having my eyes and hands on it ??. :).
