apparently due to the B clutch over heating by slipping. this caused extreme heat in the b clutch housing (tightened and locked with loctite).

as a result of the heat the housing has loosened and the clutch would not operate so the gear selector is trying to engage without releasing the clutch which resulted in the broken selector fork.

not sure why the clutch was slipping.

two things thought to contribute to slipping are incorrect torque tables and left foot braking. our torque tables were spot on and we uncovered no overlapping left foot breaking on review of both mine ad Tarzan's data.
