clutch..fing clutch..mf clutch

[DOGESTYLE]

Skipped church this morning to adjust my clutch. Forgive me Lord for missing church and for the curse words I profound when I was adjusting my clutch.

To the point: I adjusted my clutch last year and it worked great. Yesterday I was riding and I lost clutch tension and the clutch would not disengage. This a.m. I adjusted my clutch..I took it for a ride and same thing happened. Lost pressure. I then removed the primary cover and checked for loose parts or damage. Everything looked good except a little in and out wiggle on the clutch housing. I pushed the clutch housing towards the bike and went though the clutch adjustment procedures again after reassembling the primary with new oil. I started up the bike in neutral on the jack, pulled in the clutch and herd an awful scrapping noise from the primary.

I need suggestion help!!! Its a 2007 Bulldog with 7k babied miles.
