2005 26 commador Bravo 3 drive 350 mag mpi
Started with forward shift hesitation started to make some other odd noises.
So took a chance broke down drive and replaced the clone clutch only, verses a new or rebuilt drive for 4 to 7 thousand. I either did good or wasted 500 bucks.
Drive is back on boat and shifting right away but with a small klunk in both forward and reverse, never heard that before. Could it be cause the new clutch is grabbing so quickly. I know before with the worn clutch you would get a big klunk if you throtled up a bit before the clutch engaged. Before shifted very smooth. Only thing I changed was resetting the drive shaft bearing tension witch I pulled apart to replace the oil seal. I kept the same bearing shim
Got her up on plane no more weird noises.
All my fault for not changing gear oil enough. Adding a Simrek spray tower to drive did not know bravo's can reach 380 degs which is butal on the gear lube.
Love to hear your opinons
Thank
Joe
