Kerry, I disconnected the shift cable and it is very smooth. Now that everything has cooled down it is only slightly sticky coming out of reverse with the engine NOT running. I assume that with the engines not running I am only moving the selector valve assembly, is this right? Have you ever heard of anything like this? Couldn't work on much today because the grand kids were here. When I pull the screen, do I have to have the oil drained before I pull it out so as not to make a big mess in the bilges? Thanks, Bob.
