[QUOTE="Root Rat, post: 501658, member: 25991"] Ok so I don't think i got the linkage set right. It didn't want to go into forward and stay there. I may have had it to compressed/short to engage forward properly. I felt it rattling my hand on the lever at first so I want sure if it was stripped or miss aligned. I decided to stop the motor and head home. So I checked the gear oil, and there was another issue. It was milky, so the seals aren't any good. I have a new set on order and await those. In the mean time I looked at my gears inside the gearcase. So far they all look pretty good, but I did see my lower shift rod had a ton of surface rust on it. I dont know if this is normal or not? It looks to be in an area that gets wet but I could be wrong? I'll be taking the gearcase to work to de-grease it and cleaning all up best I can. From there I'll inspect it to see if I have any other issues? (If I even know what to look for... lol) [/QUOTE]
