Remove the forward screw with the washer, and
remove middle screw.
Remove the four gearcase retaining screws.
Remove the gearcase assembly from the exhaust
housing, being careful not to bend the shift rod or

housing may come out with the gearcase.
Installation
IMPORTANT: Before installation of gearcase on
motor, shift rod adjustment MUST be checked.
Refer to SHIFT ROD ADJUSTMENT on p. 314.
Coat the driveshaft splines with Moly Lube. DO
NOT coat top surface of the driveshaft because
lubricant may prevent seating of the driveshaft in
the crankshaft.
Apply Adhesive 847 to the lower exhaust housing
seals’ inner surfaces. Position two new seals on
the housing. Apply Triple-Guard grease to the
seals’ outer surfaces and position the housing on
the gearcase.
