I just replaced my impeller on my 70's 165 I-6 MC-1 and now when i rev it above 2000rpm there is fast clicking noise that comes from the out-drive. The clicking gets faster or slower based on the rpms. I had the drive in the trailer position and when I lowered it about 3/4 the way down the noise stopped, raise it back up and the noise started again. Could this be my u-joints going out? I never noticed it before I did the impeller.
I also noticed that there is a stream of water coming out of the drive around the lower shift shaft. I kept the control and lower end in forward during removal and installation and can easily shift thru the gears, though reverse is difficult to get in to without grinding the dogs a little.
Thanks in advance for any ideas and help!!
