MC1 shift slider removal question

[curliss]

1970 Slickcraft 22-204 has bad bellows and gimbal bearing so I am trying to remove the bellhousing to replace. The pivot pins came out no problem, but how do I remove the shift slider? The Seloc and MC service manuals are of vague to no use. Does it stay attached to the shift cable and I pull it all out? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

You disassemble the cable inside the boat, then pull it out from the outside.
Just look at the install instructions and go backwards for the dissassembly.

Ayuh,...

You're installing a New shift cable, with all those other parts,..?? Right,..??

Thanks. Do you pull the entire cable through, or just the core? For replacement do you replace the entire cable, or just the core? How do you remove the shift slide from the cable? Or, do the new cables come with one. My shift slide has a rusted/buggered up thing on the stern end that a safety wire runs through. Is that some sort of screw, or is that the cable core end? Sorry to ask so many naive questions - trying to learn to do it right.

The MC maual isn't that vague if you read it and understand it. You have to replace the complete cable assembly.

All those parts come with a new cable.

I would suggest you get a new MC cable assembly (NOT aftermarket) and follow the manual for installing and adjusting.
