I have a 9.9 Yamaha that will not engage forward gear. It will shift into neutral and reverse and stay there, working as it should. When I shift into forward there is a ticking sound but no engagement (prop doesn't spin) of the forward gear. If I pull the shift lever with some force to the front the gears will engage momentarily but will release when I let go of the shift lever. I have a bit of tinkering experience with old OMCs but, I admit freely, gear cases are a bit of a mystery to me. I assume the clutch dog and forward gear would need to be replaced? Am I on the right track here? What else should I look for? Is this something a novice can fix?
