Transmission Repair
Mercury Marine does not stock or sell replacement
parts for the in-line transmission. Velvet Drive has a
network of distributors throughout the world to ser-
vice their product. These distributors, in turn, have a
dealer network to service the transmissions. Also,
service manuals (for each transmission) can be ob-
tained from.
IMPORTANT: Refer to "Special Replacement Part
Information" before working on transmission.
