Re: Shift Lever

[EUGENE NEKOWITSCH]

Frank, I was thinking the same thoughts. This motor is a long shaft, the other motor I have RD-19 35hp is a short shaft. I bought a long shaft conversion kit for the RD-19, then this motor came along, gone thru by a reputable dealer and couldn’t pass it up. My thought next was to check lower unit, and compare it to the parts that I have for the other Johnson, since I haven’t taken apart yet. Think I should just pull lower unit, and start at driveshaft and work down to shift fork, checking to see if hopefully I can find something out of place, before I tear gearcase apart?. Forget about shift linkage under powerhead, and concentrate on lower end, you figure that’s where its at?.
