1970 Chrysler 9.9 impeller replacement

[larry3754]

I have replaced impellers on a few other motors. However, in looking at the parts diagram, it appears that the shift rod must be disconnected to drop the LU. I have not been able to locate where I can disconnect it. Looking for help.

You put the engine in forward then remove the four bolts holding the lower unit on. Next, you pull down on the lower unit as you move the shift control lever to reverse. This will give about a 1/2 inch gap. Reach in through this gap with a long screwdriver and remove the screw holding together the two shift rods.

If the engine is a long shaft modified one with the 5 inch extension, the screw is at the top of the 5 inch filler block. After dropping the lower, you must then remove the 5 inch extension to access the water pump.

Thanks for the advice. I had seen the screw connecting the upper and lower shift rods on the diagram but was not sure how to get at it.

Thanks Again,
Larry

Hello,
I have a 1973 Chrysler 9.9 and require a new impeller. Do you know where you can purchase replacement impellers for these older chryslers?
Thank you
