Hi Pleiades and thanks for answer.

Yes I have had the whole clutch basket off and inspected it - and I cant find anything wrong other than a bit worn plates. Have to add that I had an experienced mechanic helping me with this.
The mechanic told me that it probably would be forks in the gearbox that have broken.
Anyhow the engine is out now and on its way to a shop that will have a closer look at it....
