" Hey,
I have come into the posession of a parts 15 HP motor. I was told that the lower unit on the motor was good, and indeed, it seems that teh gears are in excellent conition, but the shift rod is in terrible shape. It constantly slips out of forward. I am thinking of disassembling the lower unit and replacing said defective shiftrod. Obviously I'm no mechanic, and I was just wondering if someone with just average mechanical skills could do this and if I really need those OMC special tools that the shop manual says I do to get it back together. I was already told that this lower unit does not need to be shimmied. Any comments would be appreciated.
