[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 493607, member: 22613"] Typically those detent balls go through the prop shaft, underneath the clutch dog. They are what keep it engaged in forward/reverse. As you're assembling it, most will coat the balls and spring in grease so they are less likely to fall out, and you will need to push the balls down as you slide the clutch dog on. A factory service manual would probably be a great help to you. [/QUOTE]
