Yamaha/Mariner 55/60hp Gearbox problem

[samt]

Can anyone tell me if there is a trick to getting the gearshift and gears syncronised when putting these gearboxes back on. The shift rod twists to change gears, rather than the push pull ones I'm used to.

Thanks Al, I have now found that the cam in the gearbox is worn out, which is why its not engaging gears properly.

as you have stripped it down that far, check the dog clutch the edge of the teeth on the dog clutch should not be shamfered it should be a quite sharp edge
