[/FONT]Issue: Reverse engagement is temperamental either not shifting into gear and free revving or grinding then dropping in. Forward is never an issue and it does not pop out of gear.[FONT="]
[/FONT]
I currently have the lower end off and the gears pulled. I suspected a dog clutch / reverse gear issue but after getting them out the gears look acceptable to me, can anyone confirm? I didn't see any shavings in the lube but it was not easy to see as I had an oil/water milkshake.
The shift rod was very stiff passing through the cover and o-rings. I broke the shift linkage at the block a couple seasons ago and I now suspect this was the cause. Could the stiff shift rod be causing the shift issues that I am having?
Thank you!
