I have a johnson 150 outboard 2000 model and when i put it in reverse it just makes a clicking or grinding noise, but the forward gear works fine anyone got suggestions for me?
You should be able to adjust your shift cable and get rid of that, the clutch dog isn't moving quite far enough to engage the gear.
There is a trunion under the hood on the shift cable(knurled knob) that you can turn adn get this fixxed soon, replacing a clutch is way expensive.
Put the engine in reverse and note which way the shifter moves and just turn the trunion a coupe turns that way till it engages, make sure still have forward and you are good.
To be more thorough I'd like to add what I found part of the problem was and how to fix: to also to grab and check your cable's plastic trunnion nut for any excessive back and forth movement in the aluminum pocket that holds the trunnion. If excessive, the nut edges are worn. I found a simple easy fix is to lift the trunnion out of the holder and apply super glue the nut's edge.Re: reverse gear clicking noise
thanks alot i will try that and hope it works, i already know how expensive the fix would be
