Hi all, new member here from Sydney Australia, was hoping someone may be able to help with potential problem on a lower unit on Johnson 70 hp electric shift, has reverse, neutral, however no forward, took it out this afternoon, whilst powering up a couple of times it felt as though we ran over something, (thudding), we continued along slowly until had no forward gear anymore, we reversed all the way back to ramp, my limited knowledge tells me that the solenoids are all ok, hence having reverse and neutral, forward is the default position, could it be the clutch dog and if so, how hard is it to remove the electric type lower unit, I am a car mechanic by trade, so tools are not a problem and neither is mechanical ability, any help with this greatly appreciated, cheers Justin.,
