Trojan Boat Forum

I have posted about this before, I have played with it a bit and have some more info so am looking for input, my port transmission stays turning when the seletor is in neutral, this makes going out alone a major adventure, as when I untie I have to run like heck to the bridge to not crash (tight slip) I played with the selector on the transmission manually and it will go into neutral a hair before reverse. Disconnecting the cable and with the lever on the transmission the spot for neutral is about 1/8 of an incha 16th forward or back give the corressponding gear. Having said this the forward turning of the prop in the "neutral" position is not real drive as when I get it out of "neutral" there is a bump and now it is really in drive. I hope I have not lost you all in this long winded description. 5.7 mercrusers, velvet v drives 1976 36 tri-frly

Pretty normal , if the clutch pack is tight it can aggravate the issue as can warped plates

looking like I'm gonna pull it and teardown "sigh" luv my boat, luv my boat, luv my boat...

Why ? its not that abnormal most will do it to some degree .

btw You also may look at the control valve .

control valve? I will ask at work this week as I have 2 transmissions and two transfer cases to be replaced (as well as a 5.7 gas engine) at work on some trucks and a loader

selector valve is another name by the service manual
