I tried searching and was unable to find this exact scenario.
Notes,
-New shift cable. (Same part number as old one.)
-New SeaStar Osprey control.
-New shift connection cube. (Volvo OEM part.)
Things I verified,
-The connection at the control is in the correct hole.
-The connection at the control is tight with a jamb nut.
-The cable is connected to the drive with the bracket in the groove of the cable and tight.
-The cable is smooth as glass when operating it not connected to the drive.
-The cable is very smooth when connected to the drive.
I am following the directions in the Volvo service manual and still running into this problem.
I adjust the shift cable connection cube, but the shift mechanism will not return to the neutral detent position 100% in forward or reverse. After shifting back to neutral I can rotate the shift mechanism very slightly on the outdrive and it will then return to the neutral detent position. If I adjust the cube to bring it back to the neutral detent position it causes the opposite gear to be far off the neutral detent position.
Has anyone run into this scenario?
