Re: Idiot removed shift pivot screw, HELP!
Both drain plugs are flat head! I learned that the hard way also... The phillips one is the pivot for the shift fork, that slides one gear into either one or another (forward or revers) Take the screw out, and remove the lower portion of the gearbox (it splits along the centerline of the prop shaft) When it comes apart (carefully) you will see how everything works, it is rather simple. Line it back up and reassemble. When pulling off the bottom half of gearbox, go slowly, and try to line it up without taking it all the way off, that helps me sometimes.<br />And sometimes its already lined up and you can just reinsert the screw, but when are we that lucky?<br />Craig
