1977 55 hp Evinrude.......model 55772D
My motor will shift into forward perfectly, but not into reverse. When I shift to reverse, it simply grinds. The very odd time, it will eventually grind its way in, but by that time the throttle is already starting to rev the motor. NOT good!!!
I remove the LU today and adjusted the shift rod to precisely 15 29/32". What else could be the problem? Could there be shims missing or something? I'm at wit's end!!!!
