ever since I put a new impeller in the w-pump of my 125 hp force it won't go into reverse it just grinds like its trying and in forward before it plains off it starts jump in and out of gear. So I removed the lower unit today hoping the shifter rod was the problem but it seems O.K. What i am wondering is how much play should their be between the 2 shafts this is all new to me but it seems to have excessive play.

Re: force 125 lower unit

Are you able to move the shifter by your hand down by the gearcase?...there should be no play. Did you reinstall the pin that connects the two parts?<br /><br />TMD
