O had the same thing with my 42 aft cabin with Cummins 903's one day, and here's what it was....
There was a pinhole leak in the raw coolant water pipe that crosses above the transmission. The pinhole leak was right above the selector for the transmission this the cable connects to. Salt water on the selector---frozen transmission. A little lubricant on the selector, fix the leak and we were back in business for a lot less than pulling a transmission. These engines and transmission are pretty robust and unless you're loading up hours like crazy you'll probably never wear them out out have to rebuild them. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: unifliteworld <[email protected]> Sent: Mon, Jul 14, 2014 4:08 am Subject: [UnifliteWorld] twin disc transmission I have a 42 ft ACMY with DD 671 NA engines. Yesterday after running the engines hard (1800 t0 2000 RPM) for 30 minutes, my port transmission (Twin Disc)was hard to get out of reverse. Any ideas on this and how difficult is it to get my transmission rebuilt. Does it have to be removed from the boat to be rebuilt? I'm guessing it does. I'm in San Diego. Thanks.
