Re: gear problem

You're getting water in the gearcase. Did you replace the fill/drain plug seals?

Also, that engine requires a special gear lube called "Premium Blend".

Re: gear problem

Ah take cover. Another famous Electromatic "No" shift problem. The only thing I can sugest is take your lower unit off check of signs of water coming in and replace ur oil once again and maybe your water pump while your there. Also make sure to check all your wiring i know white electric monster some times dosnt shift because it has shady wiring.
