REMOVAL
NOTE: It is possible to remove and service the shift shaft assembly (but not the shift crank
inside the gear case) without removing any of the internal components of the gear hous-
ing.
1. Remove the shift shaft bushing screws, and remove the shift shaft and bushing by
pulling them straight out of gear housing.

2. Remove the shift crank from the inside of the gear housing. Clean it with a suitable
solvent and dry it thoroughly. Inspect it for wear in the areas that contact the shift spool
and inspect the splines and the diameter that goes over the locating pin for damage
or wear.
