"I know this might be the wrong forum for this question, but there seems to be a ton of good info here.
My Velvet Drive Transmissions (I think they are 71s) are in Florida being overhauled. The guy called and said one unit had had water in it at some time, and the input shaft and oil pump needed replacement. I understand the pump is run off the input shaft, so you have pressure even when in neutral, but my set up has standard and reverse rotation engines.
So here's my question. Is the pump somehow able to pump oil in either direction, or is there two different pumps depending on rotation?
Or maybe it's the orientation of the pump during install?
Is there a way to check if the right pump has been used before the unit is installed back in the boat?
I think you guys can see where I'm going with this.
Thanks
Bob"
