So I was having a problem where I could not shift into reverse while the engine was running. I disassembled the lower unit to check the clutch dog thinking it is going to be eaten up pretty bad, but it doesn't look like it to me. You can still clearly see the back cut in the teeth and just the corner has the slightest rounding.
I went to the local Suzuki dealer and was told I needed a new clutch dog and gear set. They said that even though it looks good that will not work.
Is this true of Suzuki gear sets that the slightest wear on the clutch dog teeth will cause failure where any other brand will run fine with ten times the amount of wear? (I was told that as well)
