1989 Chaparral 2100 SX with 5.7L. Took the boat out for the first time this season and I was having trouble getting the shifter in to neutral. The shifter moved fine when the engine was not running. Nice and smooth forward and reverse both in gear and out of gear. But when the engine was running it would get really difficult to move in to neutral. When I got the lever in to neutral it would take a while for the engine to go in to neutral, like the cam in the shifter was sticking and then finally releasing in to position. I removed the controller unit and took off the back plate and lubed the inside, as much as I could get to, and it seemed to help quite a bit. While I had it apart I tested the shift cable to make sure it was the controller that was sticking and not the cable. The grease inside the control unit was so old and hard I think it was just making things stick. When I put everything back together it still feels like its rubbing somewhere inside that is not allowing the lever to move freely. Should I take the whole thing apart and lube it properly with teflon grease as specified? I have the manual and it looks intricate but not impossible. Is it like a swiss watch and the whole thing is going to go flying when I take it apart or is it not too bad just follow the instructions? It sure seems like that is what needs to be done. Thanks!
