Re: tohatsu shifting problems
Fishbone, a few years back I posted a similar problem and fix. I had a burr that would catch and not allow shifting. You can shift into reverse because the shift lever supplies the force to the dog, when shifting forward, the shift releases pressure and a spring pushes the shift shaft back. In my case, the spring was not strong enough to push the ball over the burr. I know this explanation is de-void of most of the proper names for the parts, but I don't have my manual with me and forgot them. Do a search for Salmon Tub and you should find the previous post. I will do so now as well.<br /><br />Good luck.
