ASSEMBLY
IMPORTANT: Make no dry assemblies. Lubri-
cate all bearings, shafts, and gears with HPF XR
gearcase lubricant.
Oil and place the forward bearing cone and roller
assembly in the forward bearing cup.
To install the forward gear and the shifter lever
and yoke assembly, begin by threading Yoke
Locator, P/N 319991, through the shift rod bush-
ing and threading it into the shifter yoke. Remove
the cradle from the yoke. Then, while pulling on
the yoke locator, guide the assembly into the
gearcase. The forward gear should come to rest
against the forward bearing, and the shift lever
should be located in the slot at the bottom of the
gearcase.
Position one pinion thrust washer on the pinion.
Oil and install the thrust bearing. Install the other
thrust washer on the pinion.
Install the pinion in the gearcase.
IMPORTANT: If the pinion binds upon assem-
bly, angle the forward gear to allow engagement.
If binding is still present, the forward bearing cup
is not properly seated.
Oil a new O-ring and install on the pivot pin. Apply
Nut Lock to the threads of the pivot pin. Use the
yoke locator to locate the pivot pin hole in the
yoke. Install and tighten the pivot pin to a torque of
48 to 84 in. lbs. (5 to 9 N·m).
Coat the threaded area of the shift rod with Triple-
Guard grease. Slide the shift rod down through
the shift rod bushing and thread it into the yoke
