Re: 1957 Johnson 35hp wont stay in gear

I believe on that model there is a slack adjustment up on the shifter handle that takes the slack out of the bell crank for tighter engagement, have sucessfully used that method with good results, but it looks like yours might be a liitle too far gone. Maybe check it after you install the new parts you need.

Send me a PM at the appropriate time and I can walk you thsu the process of adjusting that.

I will send you a PM…
