Good Afternoon,
I have a 2006 Tohatsu 4 hp 4 stroke. I had to replace the 3 lower unit gears, bearings and seals after the prop hit a rock.
I just wrapped up the rebuild but now I have a new problem. I have no reverse.
I disconnected the shift linkage from the selector lever on the motor at the mid section, and operated the shift rod movements with a pair of vice grips. All the way down which should be reverse is neutral. Forward is fine. No reverse. Motor running during tests.
This is not a linkage adjustment issue that I can tell, as I unhooked the linkage and same problem remains. I have disassembled the lower unit 6 times and re-assembled and no change. I cannot find the issue.
Any comments would be appreciated, thanks so much.
