Help! I am going out of my mind with shift issues
I two boats with Bravo 2x drives and I’ve had more shift issues (delayed shift, have to bump rpms to engage, can’t seem to adjust) in the past year than I have in 18 years. I was using a top quality aftermarket oil and it seems that the problems began after I bought a 5 gallon pail and started using it. Shift issues in five drives. Is it possible that the mix was wrong? Too slippery? Is there a limited slip additive that could have been not added correctly? I’ve been really happy with this stuff otherwise and it comes highly recommended. Thanks |
Use Merc or Quicksilver Hi Performance gear lube. Cone clutches don't like to engage with some aftermarket gear lubes.

I had a similar problem when I started using Severe Gear in XRs. Several second delay when shifting. I switched back to Merc lube and the problem went away. With all fairness, I still use Amsoil oils/lubes - but my guess is that it was a little too slick for a used set of XRs behind 650+ hp.
