Reply To: Johnson FD-12 Gearcase rebuild

[jeff-register]

I had a forward bushing locating pin that was pushed into the hole as someone put together not clocked correctly & forced it up. & yes I second that  Frank! Can’t swap gearcase halves. They are machined as one piece, not interchangable. Was there something wrong with the original gears, shafts or shift dog?  Why were  you swapping parts to begin with? Are the 2 FD 12 motors the same year models. See I don’t know how long they called a FD 12. Maybe trying one gear at a time to find the problem? Pictures please.
