Stuck in 2nd gear

Hi kids, went riding today and had the bike fall on its left side at about 2mph. Picked it up and off we went until it was time to shift to 3rd, the lever goes up and down but is not engaging the next gear? Anyone have this happen or give me a idea on what it might be? I'm really hoping I don't have to split the cases to fix this.
On another note I just put on a new Dunlop MX52 rear tire and wow does that thing hook up on the rocks up here!

Someone had a post 2 days ago that was similar. Look back on that one.

Not much in that post other then saying pull the clutch cover and you can see the shifting mechanism but all I can see is the clutch?

So I pulled the clutch and found the problem. The spring part# 92081 has popped off of the gear selector. No I just have to figure out how it goes back together!

Pretty simple, there's a tab with a hole that the front of the spring fits in, and a post on the sliding part of the shift assembly that the back of the spring goes around.

So I got it back together and it seems to be shifting like normal, now I can't get the clutch to work after I put it back together? I've got no left over parts, took it apart a couple times and put it back it back together following the parts diagram, put the cover back on and the lever does not connect the pushrod until there is no room to take up the slack. Is the lever coming out of the case supposed to connect the pushrod with the round part of the bottom of the lever?

The flat part of 13236 (the clutch actuator that comes out of the case on top) should engage the pushrod.

Thanks, I had the concave washer in upside down and that's why I getting no engagement. Hard the believe it can make that much of a difference! Thanks again.

That's bizarre! I'm wondering does this happen often? Unfortunately this is not s trail side fix.
