GEARCASE
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
9
Installation
Install two dowel pins.
Apply a light coat of Gasket Sealing Compound to
mating surfaces of gearcase and driveshaft hous-
ing.
Coat the driveshaft splines with Moly Lube. DO
NOT coat top surface of the driveshaft as lubricant
may prevent seating of the driveshaft in the crank-
shaft.
Lightly apply Triple-Guard grease to lower outside
diameter of the water tube.
Install the gearcase onto the exhaust housing.
Guide the water tube into the water tube grommet
and see that the driveshaft engages the crank-
shaft. Rotate the flywheel, if necessary.
Apply Gasket Sealing Compound to the threads of
the gearcase retaining screws. Install screws and
tighten to a torque of 198 in lbs. (23 N·m).
Clutch Adjustment
Connect the clutch rod and shift rod in the follow-
ing sequence:
• Screw the clutch rod connector on the clutch
rod to the end of its thread.
• Screw the lock nut on the shift rod to the end of
its thread.
• Locate the shift cam at NEUTRAL position by
moving shift rod up or down.
• While holding the shift lever and shift cam at
NEUTRAL, screw the clutch rod connector on
the shift rod until the connector contacts the
lock nut.
Move the shift lever from NEUTRAL through FOR-
WARD and REVERSE and check that gear
engagement starts at an equal angle from NEU-
TRAL.
