Port XR won't go into reverse when trimmed up
Port XR won't go into reverse when trimmed up. Trimmed down it is fine. I assume it's the shift cable that runs into the drive needs adjusting.
Thanks, Dean |
TTT ideas guys?

Trimmed up, how far?? Normal running height or more towards trailer height. Is the motor running when you try and shift it? Bravo must have input shaft turning when you attempt to shift it.
If it is normal trim height and you are idling and it doesn't shift, I would look at the cables to see if there is any binding when it is trimmed.. Look at the adjustments also to make sure that is not a problem. When you say it doesn't go into reverse, does the shift handle go all the way to the reverse position, or will it not move?? Need a few more details.. Dick |

I will look tonight Look at the adjustments also to make sure that is not a problem. When you say it doesn't go into reverse, does the shift handle go all the way to the reverse position, or will it not move?? Yes it goes full aft and has positive full engagement. Need a few more details.. Dick Dean |
Dean,
Look at the cable adjustments. With the drive in neutral you should be able to remove the cotter pin on the cable from the shifter and pull the barrel nut out of the holder.. wiggle the cable to make sure there is no pressure on it ( if it was misadjusted it could have pressure on it in one direction or the other) now attempt to slide the barrel nut back into the holder. If it slips right in then the centering adjustment is good. If not rotate the barrel nut until it slips in the holder and replace the cotter pin. On the arm the that both cables are connected to, measure from the pivot arm bolt to the stud that is in the slot with the front cable (from shifter) is connected. The center to center distance between those two should be 3". If it is not. Loosen the stud and move it to the correct position. That should give you the proper movement so the drive should shift equally into forward and reverse and not allow the cam to be turned too much and cause it to rub on the bump rings, causing wear and heat. Hope that helps.. Let us know what you find.. Dick |
