[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 462612, member: 3278"] [size=5]Was hoping someone else would dive into this one....... There are quite a few ways to go on this since you didn't really provide a lot of information. First... the Simplex style control has no detent or cam lock to effectively lock the gearcase into forward. Second... in 1978 the gearcase you are talking about is nowhere near as robust a gearcase as in later years starting with 1982 in which it became pretty much bulletproof. Third...The bad news. Once a gearcase starts jumping out of gear it is usually a matter of time before you have to go into it and repair it. If you really think the gearcase is still in good shape the very best advice you can get here would be to go to a single handle control. Period! [/size] [/QUOTE]
