Trans pull: remove the bolts on the flange holding the shaft to the gearbox, loosen bolts on forward engine mounts (they hold the arms from the engine mount to the hull, not the bolts on the mts to the engine) to allow the motor to tilt up from the rear, remove bolts holding rear trans mounts to hull and using an A-frame, engine hoist, forklift or something to lift the back of the motor, raise the rear of the engine up and use wood blocks under the oil pan to hold it in place being careful not to pinch the oil change hose at the rear. Remove trans and send to rebuild. BTW, we just installed one we bought as new old stock on ebay, unit cost $895 and had a warranty through Borg Warner. Look around before you have someone rebuild it, you may get lucky enough to remove and replace in the same day. -Good luck.

Pulled the transmission, rebuilt, installed it. Stupid transmission was setup for a right hand engine. Pulled it back off, corrected the pump rotation setup, installed again. Life is good! thanks everyone for their help.Comment

i didnt know the difference before but i could see it was just spinning away, then i called the guys who rebuilt it and he told me how to correct the problem. They swear that is the way they received it. Hard to beleive but I couldnt argue either way because i didnt confirm before sent it off nor did i get to water test. I bought it knowing there was a transmission problem. Oh well. Its a releif to know thats taken care of.Comment
