I replaced the forward gear and pinion gear, so had a BRP dealer shim the drive shaft.
After putting everything back together in the lower unit , I came to the shift rod height. In my manual it has the height for a "60 degree V6" - Extra long shaft 25" = as 26 3/32nd to 26 5/32nds
BUT
it also lists a "90 degree V6 - LOOP CHARGED" Extra long shaft 25" = as 26 29/32 to 26 31/32nds.
I bought the engine used - how do I know if the V6 is a plain 60 degree or 90 degree Loop Charged ???
By the way - I could barely even get the shift rod screwed down to 26 and 3/32nds so Im thinking it must be the "loop charged" one but I never ran into that before, I thought it was just a plain old 60 degree V6, how can I tell?"???
I put model number in the title of the post if that helps.
PS - I know you measure from the center of the hole at the top of the shift rod to the base of the lower unit while it's in Neutral.
THANKS AGAIN for all your help !!!
