well I took apart the clutch and put it back together and I made sure I did it right but when I went to kick start it the kick would go down but not back up its like I had to manually pull the kick back up and its not the spring and I have another problem I try to pull in the clutch and it is like there is nothing there its like something came loose in the basket or something and information would help.

Did you take the entire clutch apart including the basket's inner and outer? There is a gear that meshes between the kickstarter and outer hub. If it's not there or is slipped it will cause the condition your talking about. I would recheck that area. About there being nothing there when you pull the lever could also be due to that gear not being aligned right. This is where I would start.
