After Bellows job, shifts into gear fine, BUT...

[liquidlew]

Helped my bud do a bellows job, got it all back together, ran it in the driveway for about 10 min. temp good, everything working fine. Shifts into forward and reverse fine, but you can hear and feel it chatter as it is going into gear. He says it has always been like this, is this normal? (I kinda don't think so, my boat does not do this). Is this just an adjustment issue, worn shift cable, or shift interupt out of adjustment?

the shifting has to be quick or it will clack a little just make faster shift. it is not good for it shifting slow.

OK Thanks! Will try that. Not sure if something is messed up with the throttle control, seems to want to fly forward and over rev when put into gear, that's what I eased it into gear. We will look into that.
