Alpha Gen 2. More "clunk" then "click" when spinning prop by hand???
Hi Guys,
Long story short, two years ago I shredded the gears in my upper unit.
This past week I managed to finally get around to buying a new one ("new" as in good used) and bolted the new top half to my old lower which we suspected was fine.
I installed the drive last night and when I put it in forward, it locks CCW as it should, but feels like a clunk when spinning the opposite way. Same goes for reverse, locks CW but clunks when I go the opposite way with a tone sort-of different than when spinning the opposite way in FWD.I don't get the ratchet sound that I used to or am supposed to.
I am thinking the shift cable(s) may be out-of-adjustment but want to hear what you guys have to say.
Note: Before I split the two halves, it would not make this sound (clunk).
Thanks guys!
