I just repaired one on my 5.5 Johnson… just put back together and spot weld at the joint use a brass drive pin on the prop .
grind away weld bumps kep the shaft round so it does not rub in the GC
been reading lots of old posts on shock absorber size…. 6″11/16 seems the magic number … mine meaures 6″ 13/16 .
while initially working the housing I recall it falling out on the ciment floor and wonder if it got messed up then ??? anyhow… pursuing the adventure
GC gears turn fine on their own but driveshaft turns about 3/4 turn and binds… on its own . I’ll reinspect the shock absorber and if 6″11/16 is the magic number I’ll have my neighbour tack weld it at 6″11/16.
