Shifter question


Over the past month or so my gear shift lever felt like it was getting
loose. When I tried to put it into third gear the gear shift lever would
travel well into the passengers leg area. I removed the seat and floorboard
and everything is tight and third gear is less than an inch away from first
gear, however I can push the gear shift lever way over to the right when it
is in neutral. When it is pushed over far enough the mounting bracket P/N
11-43-02 hits the hull and deflects it. Could the spring P/N 11-73-38 be
worn out? It feels tight. Is there some other way to limit the travel of
the gear shifter?

Re: Shifter question


If you have the floorboard still out, Warren, check
the set screw that locates the connector hub/ball onto
the shifter rod back at the transmission. There is a
detent in the rod for the set screw point. If that's
loose it could allow excess play. Good luck!
