[QUOTE="sharrison, post: 276458, member: 9158"] 1973 20hp Johnson model # 20r73a.. I pulled the drain plug and nothing came out at first. Then once I pull the top plug thick oil/grease came out. It didn't stink like burnt gear oil, That's why im thinking it may be grease. Anyone ever seen that? I did flush some fresh gear oil through it and it seems it's clean now. But I didn't go any further. It shifts fine and everything turns smooth. Hoping someone put the wrong stuff in it and didn't run it after that. [-o< Yeah right..... #-o Next i'm going to pull the lower off tomorrow and take it apart to check it all out, Just wanted to get some thoughts tonight. [/QUOTE]
