Hi<br />Johnson faststrike 175 v6 -92<br /><br />Last season i got my lower unit replaced.<br />Now i can only get it in rev randomly.<br />The prop start to spin rev but it will not click in rev gear all the time.<br />If i put it in forward and than back it work most of the times.<br />Is it an adjustment abowe the lower unit or could it be something inside the lower unit?

Think the first thing to do is drop the lower unit and check the shift rod height. It may have been checked with the lower unit in reverse or not at all.<br /><br />Lets' EDIT here a minute before tearing off the lower unit.....Disconnect the shift cable at the engine and try shifting to reverse manually. If you still are having a problem, see the first paragraph. <br /><br />If it shifts to reverse OK, check the shift cable adjustment. Reset the adjust ment with the engine in neutral. The shift lever at the engine will be near vertical with the lower unit in neutral.
