Why would you Say that JoG?
Well, because it sounds like the clutch basket and all of its bits and pieces are disengaged completely.
So what is allowing the rotation of the crankshaft to continue to spin the input to the transmission If the clutch is disengaged?

It's pretty crappy of people to not tell you they don't have it in stock, but most people will sell it to you and then try to get it to ship it to you.
I've even had them lie to me. I've been buying things for a customer who Needs the product, make a few calls, someone quote me a price and tell me I should have it in three days.

Unless it was someone I did a lot of business with and trusted them to tell me the truth about when I would get it.
