Hello, i just bought a mark twain 1979 run about, chrysler 115 hp motor runs like a dream, purrs like a kitten. I have replaced most gaskets and seals on top, like carb seals new fule lines ect. I have had it in the water 2 times in the last 4 to 5 weeks runs great, but? When shifting into reverse it is real smooth as soon as I move shifter it goes right into reverse, but when i try to put it into foward, I have to push down fast had quite of the way down to get it to go into foward gear, but once it goes in no problem, it is just when i want to put it into slower, because I am in a no wake zone, and do not think this should go into this hard. I have looked at the gear lube no metal shavings, put about oh maybe 1/2 qt of gear lube in. I also changed to two cables, could my linkage be wrong, the way i have set it up? Really need some grear addvice now in how to fix this problem please obie one canobie your my only hope!!

Sounds like the shift cable needs adjusting.Unhook it at the motor end and make sure the shifter on the motor is in neutral.Then adjust the shifter to the motor.J
