Maybe I missed something, but it sounds like you're jumping the gun. IIRC, your 
symptoms just sounded like a few strands of your cable broke. This is what 
typically happens when a clutch cable starts to fail. It effectively lengthens 
the cable and makes it unable to disengage the clutch, even though everything 
still LOOKs like it is working.   

Replacing a clutch cable is a lot less work than pulling an engine.
