Yamaha 2006 40HP - F40TLR
I was getting the engine ready for summer and I've noticed a clicking sound when I put the motor in forward gear. When the motor is off and in neutral I can turn the prop and it makes the clicking sound. When I put the shift in reverse and then back in neutral the clicking goes away. Put the shift in forward then neutral again and the clicking returns when i rotate the prop. I've been told by a friend that I should adjust the shift linkage or maybe the spline arm but I haven't had much success finding good instructions online. Any help would be appreciated.
