It looks like one side of the clutch fork spring clip has fallen off the ball stud. Can I just try and pop it back on the stud? I think I can reach it.
What are you out for trying? It's stuffed now! Can't make it any worse. But the real question is how?
How did it get like this? And if somehow you pry it around and it does clip back into place unbent and tight???? Will it do it again?
Why not give it a go. Nothing to lose.
But pulling the transmission may very well be in your future. And a pain it is.
Here's a cutaway pic from the factory manual showing the correct orientation of the clip to the ball stud.
Hopefully this will help.
Also a pic from this forum of end view of fork to throwout bearing.
