Hi guys, I changed the oil and impeller on my 40 hp autolube yammy yesterday (aprox 10-15 yrs old). However, on putting the g/box back on it slips horrendously when putting it into gear.<br />I assume I have to adjust te length of the connecting rod. I assume that they are counter rotating threads and as such that would take loads of playing to set up. <br /><br />Has anyone got any hot hints on this?<br /><br />Many thanks in advance.

put the gearbox in reverse/push down<br />wind the barrel nut up with the engine gearshift in reverse so the 2 wont be touching when the gearbox is installed. install the gearbox and wind the barrel nut down and onto the gearbox shift shaft. tighten the jam nut.<br />if you still have a problem its likely with the clutch dog

Nice one! Thank you! I think it was ok before - although I hadn't used the boat much. However, it certainly wasn't THIS bad!<br /><br />Thanks for the info!
