Re: Hard to shift???
Ok, here's a slight update(though I am going to look into that adjustment as well).<br /><br />When looking at it again tonight, I was able to move the lever just fine. It didn't feel quite a stiff as it had while the engine was running. It was actually rather smooth, from neutral, to forward, to reverse.<br /><br />Also, all this comes after I reassembled the top end of the engine. I had to replace the head gasket(turns out I had 2 warped valves too). But I noticed that I apparently didn't put some little switch do-dad back on correctly. It screws onto the valve cover, and has a little lever w/wheel that goes into a groove on the mounting plate for the shift linkage. I hope that makes sense.<br />Anyways, it was on the wrong side of the mounting plate. Fixed that real quick, and I'm going to try it out again tomorrow.<br /><br />And the button you push to engage gears doesn't work at all on this lever. I can easily push the boat into gear without pushing in the button first. So is this a mechanical button normally? Or an electronic one? And is it fixable, without replacing the whole thing?
