XR gear/clutch HELP!
I have a XR drive that im working on and the forward gear clutch had stuck engaged. No metal dust or shavings when drained and disassembled, gears look fine, but still can not get the forward gear clutch to release and off of the clutch shaft. Any suggestions or experiance with this issue? Thanks!

I got it loose! Thanks guys. No damage at all to the gears or clutch. Not really sure exactly what caused this. Im thinking about hand lapping the clutch and cone/gear together to make absolutely sure no high spots. Thanks again!

Look at the area where the clutch shaft collar contacts the bottom of the gear.
I had one off a buddy's boat that was stuck, had to press it apart,..... it was galled up on the bottom( inside) of the gear and on the clutch shaft collar where
the two mate when it is in gear.
Basically, the galled surfaces were acting as a "lock washer".
