Re: Shift Lever

[frankr]

I just though to something: What if the lower shift rod has been replaced at some time (or the complete lower unit)? And what if the replacement originally was a long shaft and somebody cut it off to make it a short shaft. And what if that somebody didn’t cut off exactly 5"? If all these "what-ifs" are true, well there ya go……

One more what-if: What if the shifter fork in the lower unit is bent, as happens when somebody tries to force it into gear when not running and dog isn’t aligned? Again, if the fork is bent, there ya go……
