[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 474956, member: 12995"] I should be stopping by the boat today so I'll try to remember to check it. I checked the motor today and the reverse gate has a little play but it doesn't really rattle so I would say it's more tight than loose. I watched the bushing as I moved the gate and it was nice and clean and turning freely as I moved the gate. It needs to spin freely to get smooth movement so check to see if your bushing has resistance to spinning. Maybe try spraying some WD40 to make sure it moves easily. I went out in the boat and there is more resistance shifting into forward than reverse, but the gate has to move more to clear for forward vs minimal movement to get into reverse. [/QUOTE]
