Hello, I (newbie) have been working on this lower for awhile. It jumps in and out of gear when slightly torqed. Just a quick thump. If I hold the shift lever tightly it will stay in. I have dissasembled this a few times to no avail. I have sealed the unit so the lube is ok, It was leaking before.
I have installed a new prop seal and o ring etc. I have adjusted the shift lever to max forward position.
I have switched the gears around, The gears are chipped but the guy at the marina said he didn't think the chips were causing the problem. It does look a little worn or loose in there. What else could it be? I have been looking for some gears on ebay. This lower has been in salt alot.
Here's the pics. Thanks. Skyler
