So ignoring the advice of fleetwin I pulled the gearcase apart, I see no issues with the clutch coupler, no metal filings in the oil, it all looks good, I’ll post pictures tomorrow. So on to ignition, I bought new plug wires I’ll install them
Tomorrow or the next day. It’s ok, I’m good with having dismantled the gearcase, I now will know what’s inside as far as wear and any issues, it had been “gone through” by a reputable individual but I like knowing what I am looking at. Stay tuned. As a side note, what is the general consensus on running the engine in gear with earmuffs hooked to the garden hose?

If the lugs on the clutch dog are rounded off, even a little, that will cause the jumping out of gear problem. The lugs on the gears and the clutch dog must be perfectly squared, with no rounding or rolling over on the edges. A new fwd and reverse gear, along with a new clutch dog, is required to fix this. If you have ran the motor like this very much, the gears and clutch are likely shot.
