quote Jim Moffatt:
The cavity is not used in non-shift motors like yours. In the 5, 7.5 and 10 hp motors the shift fork slides up and down inside it.
You can leave the gasket solid but I would cut a small hole in it so pressure can be equalized on the two sides of the gasket.
The gasket thickness determines the gear lash front to rear – use medium thickness gasket material about 1/32″ or fit by trial.

Now I see it! All I had to do was turn the page in my manual to see that is where the gear shift parts go in larger motors. Never occurred to me. Thanks Jim!
