I have a 2006 Alpha one gen2 drive on which I have removed the lower gear housing to replace the Impellor.
With the throttle in forward gear and the Impellor replaced I lined up the gear housing below the Drive shaft housing and mated the 2 halves making sure the shift shafts were alligned etc.
What has caused me concern and I need help about is to do with Upper shift shaft assembly.
Normally the saddle area of the U.S.S sits tightly over the RT angle section of the lower shift shaft, coupling both together for a gear change to occur.
My problem is if I push gently upwards against the U.S.S the shaft can raise vertically by 0.5cm which allows the upper and lower sections of the shaft to disengage, permanantly stopping me from engaging forward or reverse!
Urgent advice on this would be most welcome as we are due to launch next week. I don't want to find the coupling disengaging randomly.
The Drive shaft Housing has a serial no ow808552 and all the U.S.S bushes are fine.
Regards
Paul.
