    Hi Frank, i opened the access cover and can get about 1/2″ of play from the shift rod. Enough to cause problems?
    Don, had the gear case apart, checked the gears, put a new shift dog in along with all new seals and pressure tested it.
    I guess I’m going to have to open it up again. Maybe the clutch dog cradle as you suggested? I didn’t replace that when I did the initial rebuild. One step forward, three backward. Oh well, will keep everyone posted.
    Thanks,
    Bob D
