I-MAN, A CLUTCH ROD IS JUST A GORRILLA HAIR LESS THAN 9 AND 5/8 INCHES LONG.

good news, bad news. the good news- I think I fixed it! the bad- i could have spared us most of this if I had payed closer attention in the first place. there were two plates, one metal and one fiber, that were bonded so completely to the basket cover (part that the four screws and the four springs go into) that I assumed (ass of me anyway) that it must be a part of it. I contacted Loud Mouse via email to ask about him helping me with it and he graciously sent his phone number. anyway, I went out to the shop to double check on somethings and those two stuck plates struck me as odd for the first time. I came in and checked with the exploded diagram that esteve posted, and sure enough, they shouldn't be stuck. so a little more force was applied, they came apart and now the rear wheel spins with the clutch in! I'm not saying thats the end, but I feel like it's a break through. thanks to everyone for you help and patience.
