Remote control wont shift into reverse

[SoggyBritches]

Ok, I have isolated the problem to the remote control box. My box is a 'power pilot' Early Model Single lever remote control shift box.

The problem: It will shift into forward just fine. But it wont go into reverse. It wont even go all the way back to the middle position (neutral) where the trigger should lock in. It appears to stop a fraction of an inch from locking in.

So my question, what inside this box of magic parts could possibly be bad preventing shifting to reverse. I did notice the GLUE like grease that is used in these things :facepalm: Im sure thats 'factory spec' but for all the friction in these things, seems a bit adhesive to me?

Anyways, thats beside the point. In the picture, the arrow points to the only part that I can find wear on. Just that spot on that part seems worn. Could that prevent neutral and reverse?

My cables are in good shape. And now that the box is disassembled, the cables travel just fine their full amount.

How about the part that that part engages into ??

Re: Remote control wont shift into reverse

take a real slow look at how everything works together. sounds like the shifter is in the wrong spot to start off with.

Ok. I have more info. It appears to go 'out of time' when I shift 'too far forward' with the shift handle. Once I took it apart, and put it back together, It worked perfectly. It shifted forward into the notch (click). And neutral and reverse aswell. But when I go further forward (im assuming further forward is more throttle?) it appears it goes out fo time with the reverse cam (the thing the arrow is pointing to). I have it partially apart again, and am trying to get a video to show what its doing. Very interesting.
