Stella Clutch totally loose

Hi guys,
I've had a 4T stella for around 3 months now and am having a blast. I was about to head out yesterday for a grocery run and as I was pulling out my clutch became completely loose, it feels like a cable must have snapped or come loose (although I didn't feel a snap). I can start the engine alright, but if I move the shifter into the 1st position, even before I would let the clutch go, the engine stalls. Is this a simple loose cable thing I can fix or should I take it into the shop? I'm about ready for the first maintenance so I'll be taking it to the shop soon anyways but if I could fix it and drive to the shop instead of having to get a tow that would be great.

Thanks.

If it's under warranty I'd take it into the shop. Just as a precaution. Don't wanna risk more damage to the engine if it worse than a snaped cable.

Does your clutch lever still pull in and spring back on it's own? just feels totally loose?? and the lever DOES spring back???
If so..... then the cable pinch bolt is good on the cable..
This happened to me on my 4t..
