[QUOTE="Johny25, post: 243441, member: 7791"] I decided to modify the shift lever on my 88' 25hp johnson so that it was in the front of the motor. I paid $12 for the handle from a 92' model online and then custom made the linkage and braces for the shifter. I have a few touch ups to be made like better stainless bolts and heavy duty nylon spacers in the front but she is basically done. I know they make a kit to do this on the early 90's models but they want way to much scratch for the kit! This cost me about $30 dollars total and a few hours work. I drilled out the cam actuator to accept the 1/4" rod and cotter key and washered the backside, little gear grease and she works perfect :) [/QUOTE]
