[Martinal94]

Hey
I have been working a little on my lower unit in the winter.
But I think my gear rod have gone out of position, becouse its just two "clicks"
So How do I know when its stand right?

I think you should clarify your post a little better. I can't make heads or tails out of it.

Sorry, I am really bad in english.
If you look at http://www.boats.net/parts/search/BRP/JOHNSON/1996/BJ90ELEDR%201996/GEARCASE%20-%2020%20IN.%20MODELS/parts.html and see part 55.
If you pull it should be 3 notches. But mine is turn some rounds around, so its only 2 notches. And I wonder how do I know when I turnd it rigt, so my gear rod is in the right place agian.

Did you have all the gears out? When you put it back together you can only get two gears.Neutral and just one other,It could be part # 13 and 14 not in the right way.
With the lower off and pushing and pulling on the shift rod you should get all 3 positions if you dont something is put together wrong.Screwing the shift rod in and out wont help.

Lower unit has not been divided into pieces.
I took it in and replaced the gasket, it is number 23 on the image.
So I saved it inside the house in winter, but the gear has apparently come out of position?

What I think happened is when you removed part 55 part 13 and 14 fell out of place,remove part 45 again. turn the lower unit upside down and get part 13 and 14 out,Fit them together and screw them on to part 55 then put them down into the lower and make sure part 13 fits on part 15 then put part 45 with the new gasket back on. it should then work.
Follow me??

yeah, I see.
But I never tok part 55 out, so how should the other parts have feld out?
I only took of part 45, took on a new part 23 and took part 45 on again.
So how cud that have happend ?

Re: gear rod in right direction lower unit

I thought you removed it? Well try this push the shift rod down and spin the prop at the same time,Does it go down? after that pull it up while spinning the prop.
OK we know it is suppose to have 3 positions Down,Midway and up,Midway the prop should spin free does it? from midway can the shaft go down? Can it go up?
I still think part 13 and 15 have something to do with it.But try what I asked and tell me which way you can get the shift rod to move.
