Well had the usual slipping out of gear issue, shift cable adjusted to no avail so pulled lower unit apart and sure enough clutch dog teeth rounded. As is my usual luck, my particular clutch dog was the most expensive one on the planet so I took very precise measurements, and I saw no reason whatsoever that it couldn't be flipped. I dressed what was the reverse drive teeth (were in good shape to start with)to a nice flat, slightly undercut, surface, and went ahead and dressed the old forward drive teeth flat as well. but they were so bad only slightly more than half the tooth remained of each one. So I feel better about that only driving reverse. Anyway all is back together and waiting for a test. So far everything is working great on the muffs. I know all the lectures Im about to receive about losing the hardening and the risks involved. If it lasts a year or two then Im happy. Ill be saving up for a new dog and gear set (no less than $600 that ive found)Just thought Id share in case someone had the same motor and their clutch dog went out. that as far as I can tell so far it is reversible. And if done properly may save you lots of money in a pinch. Ill post updates after the lake test Friday evening.
