My sprocket came loose as I was driving, and my clutch started disappearing and didn't drive anymore.

Not sure how a clutch can disappear.

Ok in all seriousness... I figure you probably mean the sprocket came loose, and the clutch started slipping and now it doesn't grab anymore? If that's what's going on (IF) then you just gotta adjust it.

I've found the problem, it's the woodruff key that was holding the sprocket,it became very dull and wasn't gripping onto the sprocket. AND the whole shaft from the clutch to the sprocket, on the sprocket side where the woodruff key sits in it was no more holding it.

Ahhhh makes sense. So a new key and she should be good to go?

The woodruff key just holds the part from spinning on it's shaft. The bolt holds the part in place, so the bolt has come loose allowing the part to move away from it's position on the shaft causing the key to take more work than it's suppose to.
Hope that explains a bit.

Nope I'd have to replace the whole shaft because my woodruff key hole was dulled very bad and It wasn't sitting in to place.

Post pictures. There's different size woodruff keys. You'd be amazed what some of us have done with a rotary tool and files.
