I Have A 1962 40 Hp Gale
I Just Finished Rebuilding The Top With No Manual.(runs Great)
Problem Is The Bottom End Seems To Be Slamming Into Gear Every Once And A While. So I Bought A Used Lower End And Its Stuck In Reverse.
I Took The Lower End Apart And Notice That The Shifter Was
Broken. Does Anyone Have A Picture Of The Gears. Just So I Can Make Sure There Is Nothing Else Wrong.
Thanks Alot.

It sounds like the problem with your first lower unit is a worn clutch dog. if you can just change out the gear set and clutch dog you might be good to go.

do you want a exploded parts diagram, or just an over head view of the gear set?
I tried to post a picture, hope it worked:)

one thing to add.....this is a 1959 35hp. I don't think there is much difference though.
