Re: rowdyrebel

Clunk when putting in gear is normal-anything else means a teardown.

My Mercruiser also clunks when engaging but before it engages, the drive gears chatter. Is this normal?

Re: rowdyrebel

Re: rowdyrebel

its normal if your shifting slow.....

but it's bad to shift slow.

Re: rowdyrebel

There was a lot of corrosion around lower end of the transom cable.
Cleaned,adjusted and lubed everything it works with the greatest of ease
But now the ignition went south
Like that other feller said i/o i/o so off to work i go.

Re: update shifting problems

Do not mess with that lower shift cable. It must be replaced when it gets corroded.

If it gets bad enough or gets frayed internally and starts stretching it will pop you into or out of gear when you least want it.... and tear up the "dogs" in the process.
