You'll need to pull the bellhousing off to see why its seperated from the mainshaft. There is a circlip, a small threaded stud, and the reverse gear idler.

Makes it easy to line the clutch plate up

Just push it back in when you are finished 😂

Easy fix. All will be clear when bell housing is off. Maybe DB can post some pics for you.
