I just bought this motor about a week ago and had it out the other day and the clutch dog is going out in it. I was holding on the shifter and the motor would jump out of gear here and there and the last time it did it it made a really hard clunck and the motor died. I pulled my motor up and all of the bolts came out of the lower unit except the back bolt but the lower unit pretty much came off and was hanging there. I took it off and just tried to get the lower unit back on but the splines for the drive shaft are too mess up I think for it to go back up. My question is if I get another lower unit that is good is there a good chance that the splines or whatever is up in the power head that the drive shaft goes into spun out too? I have talked to a couple other people and they said it should be ok up there and it is prob just the splines on my drive shaft but I wanted to see what everyone else thought. Any help would be great.
