[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 402953, member: 3278"] The answer to that question is ..... "It depends" On what needs to be done inside the gearcase. If no driveshaft or gearset needs to be replaced then the number of special tools is greatly reduced. If they do need to be replaced then shim tools are required and they are costly. Yamaha gearcases are usually more special tool happy than OMC. We have a Yamaha 40C gearcase in the fixture at the shop right now. Will not shift out of forward gear. While evaluating I noticed the driveshaft is out of round at the driveshaft seal area. This alone put the estimate on repairs out of reach of the customer. The cost of special tools for us to do the job correctly put the job out of reach for us as well. [/QUOTE]
