shift rod tight

I swaped the gear cases or the foot on my buddys Bear Cat and the only differance is the one I put on is from a short shaft. Check over on fiberglassics for my post on everything I did. And see if You can figure out what I did wrong.

Been there done that. I cracked the gear case on the one I had several years ago. Got another after a lot of searching, complete with gears. It would not hook up correctly, just like the problem your having.

It's like they custom fit each one they made. Forget his name now, but I was getting the parts from the guy in CA. So I was being supplied parts by someone who knew the Bearcats. He swore up and down that it "should" fit.

I still like those engines, but you have to be a mechanic to own them, which I am far from being. Good luck Mike.

well I'm enough of a mechnic to work on these just need more time to figure everythilng out. Every motor has its tricks for working on it be it car or outboard. So far I love these motors and the way they run. Give me some time and I will get it all worked out. I'm not so smart that I can't take some advice or help

Ok I took it all apart and put it back togather and it shift now. Checked the rod and seal it goes through and couldn't find anything wrong. But it works so thats all that counts
