[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 502109, member: 3278"] [B]There were tons of gearcases out there in the vintage days that did not have the detent groove, balls, and spring. They will stay in gear if everything is adjusted properly and the drive faces of the clutchdog and gear lugs are in good condition and not rounded off. After going through this scenario several times I am surprised that noone has mentioned the fact that you have a shift adjustment up at the gear shift lever! You can loosen it and adjust to pull farther into either forward or reverse gear. If you do have the gearcase apart I would love to see some close up photos of the drive lugs on the clutch dog and forward gear. Also. are you sure it is jumping out of gear and not a prop hub slipping? You can hold your hand on the shift lever and it will jump in your hand if the gearcase is jumping out of gear but remain relatively stationary if the prop hub is slipping. [/B] [/QUOTE]
