Hello, I have been following this thread in hopes of getting my Merctrans B back in my boat. I had bought seals from Kirk in Wa so this rebuild has been going on forever. I dont mean to highjack but I am in a bad way. After several shops rebuilding my Trans I installed it in the boat last week. First time I installed it the shaft was not moving and once installed it was locked in forward regardless of where the shifter was. Pulled it again and made sure the shaft was free spinning before putting it in the boat. Its doing the same thing, When I start the motor the trans is in forward but when I put it in reverse it dies. I am at my wits end gentleman. I restore old Motorcycles, not boats.
I was going to buy one of Kirks trans he sold for around 2500 but thought I could save money by doing it local and I was so wrong. At 60yo I am not sure I have another R&R in me and you cant find anyone that knows what they are doing in this part of Tn. When we pulled the trans it had lost forward, clutches, seals and a gear was replaced.
I know I should of started my own thread but saw that this one was still alive. The trans shop that just rebuild it is asking me if there is any adjustments that can be made and all I see in the manual is something about the reverse band needing to be adjusted but this is on the port side so I am not sure I can get to it from the pics. This is a electric shift boat ( I know, they suck) but movement is the same as the other side that works fine.
Stuck in forward, dies when going in reverse. The reverse band has not been adjusted. The reverse lock seemed to be froze up but is now like the other side. Could the adjustment of the reverse band be my issue? The manual is hard to understand and I have read it 100's of times to no avail. I am asking for help from the folks in the thread. Any advise would go a long ways. Please help an old guy get back on the water. It has been a tough year and this boat is beating me.
