Just had the shift linkage snap on my 1998 B1 upper. My tech said that it might be stuck in gear, and he doesn't have the tools to completely disaasemble. Anyone have an earlier (non swept back) B1 upper in 1.5-1 they could let go fro relatively cheap? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Got a call from my tech, and evidently the lower shift cable had a 2in split right before it went into the drive. it rusted out the shift arm, and the cone clutch as well as everything else looks good, but it has evidently been going on for a while. The drive oil is fine, not milky. so if anyone has a primary shift arm, it would be greatly appreciated.

I got a call from my tech this afternoon....Sorry for the late reply, i replied at work and evidently it didn't go through....all that being said, the cone clutch is evidently in great shape, and he got a good deal on the actuator from merc....well, sort of a good deal. 40% off of an astronomical price to begin with, but it will be here tomorrow, so I can't complain too much. I genuinely appreciate the response and effort to help me. The drives were both supposedly rebuilt 2 years ago when I bought the boat, so I'm going to chalk it up to bad luck. Thank you again for the response brotha.
