I guess with the detent…how the heck can it pop out? It is possible that the internal gearcase linkage is worn, such as the gearcase fork or aluminum clutch dog cradle…. But, I’m guessing you can feel the thing jumping when you hold the shift lever in forward gear while it is misbehaving. Your sure this is a gearcase issue, correct? It is possible that the driveshaft/crankshaft splines are just about to give way.
QUICKSHIFT EVAN FULL
Is the gearcase achieving full forward gear engagement? Usually, you can feel drag on the dog/gear face when you attempt to push the shift lever past its static position in forward gear. Perhaps the shift lever is not tight on the pivot shaft, or maybe the internal bellcrank is messed up. You should be able to see if there is slop in the linkage by pulling the shift rod connector cover, securing the shift rod with needle nose pliers or something else that will fit inside, then trying to rock the shift lever…If you find there is lost motion between the shift lever, and shift rod movement, you will need to track down the cause. But, that will not increase the range of throw… Well, there is the little adjustment on the shift lever that aligns the interlock lever with neutral. Thoughts? Is there anything else that may mimic what appears to be jumping out of gear? Please advise? Only option is to pull the power head and change out the upper shift rod… there is nothing else…that I can think of.Īnd for the first 3 years, 48 weeks it shifted just fine…
QUICKSHIFT EVAN MANUAL
I used my 10th edition manual to set this in the beginning but it does not matter where the adjustment is, just won’t stay in gear…. Now to my question, this has some type of adjuster to allow some leeway with the throw range of the linkage. The last time I was into this we found the upper part of the rod had somehow pulled out of the connector and made the shifting not right, so I pulled a good one from my 18 and replaced it with his and triple checked its holding of both upper and lower shift rods. "Smartly" shift into forward and take off… up to 3/4 throttle it is fine, so I figure we are good, and open it all the way up, does well for a couple of minutes, so I idle down easy, shift into reverse and give her some gas…so far so good right? Nope When I go beck into forward, the dam thing starts popping out of forward, like nobody’s business…I have to literally hold the shift lever in forward to keep it in gear. So tonight I head to the lake for the 4th time… motor starts easily, so I "smartly shift into reverse, no issues, no jumping out of gear. Since that time, I have opened this case up 3 more times with the same problem, won’t stay in gear…Have re-sealed it and checked for leaks. I go totally thru this replace ALL the seals, clean it inside and out. I am thinking someone got in here and did not know what they are doing. Also notice the pivot pin is not all the way in. So I go into it with a new dog, noticing first off that one of the drain screws is missing its gasket, BIG nono, and NOT something I would miss. I like most of you think that it is the clutch dog. I also made it an electric start so he no longer had to pull start it.Īll is well until 3 weeks ago, owner stated it would no long stay in gear, which by the way, was the same problem that brought him to me 4 years ago. So as you can imagine I want this one better than right. 4 years ago I rebuilt this lower unit for my mother-in-laws substitute pastor.
