HELP! I bought a used 1974 25 hp Johnson recently. The motor seems to slip out of gear however the prop continues to spin. I have removed the lower unit and checked the following:

clutch dog - good
gears - good
linkage-good
Purchased a new prop nut
replaced shifter lock
I also had my prop refurbished ( they said the hub was good )

If you hold the shift lever down it does not slip ( however then it would take two people to operate the motor on my boat)

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Re: 1974 25 hp johnson

question, how do you adjust the shift rod height? Do you adjust the rod connected to the motor or the one connected to the lower unit?
