Reply To: Not shifting after gearcase rebuild – help!

[durdyd]

You have it all right. Gearcase off engine, no new partsf. The block of wood wouldn’t move the shift rod either.

I decided to dismantle it again as something obviously wasn’t right. Got my small parts tray out to recieve the bits I was about to pull off and noticed the threaded pin that the shift yoke pivots on, still sitting there in the bin, uninstalled…

Pin back in, shifts like it should. Embarrassing but I’ll take it.

Most times I’m not a bonehead. This wasn’t one of those times.

Thank you for your response!
