can anyone please help me with the size of the E-Clip that holds the gear shift shaft in place so that I can order one up? Boats have it as their part number 99001 12600-00
How easy is it to fit one by just removing the LH cover ?
I must have dislodged my clip by some over enthusiastic kicking . I noticed that the shift lever was scraping the alternator cover and when I removed the lever it was clear that there was about 10mm+ axial movement in the gear shift shaft where the spline exits the cover.
I've shimmed it with some washers temporarily to test the gear shifting
Update
Well good news !.....the temporary shims have worked and I can get all the gears once again so I'll order up a multi size set of E-clips and remove the cover when this rain stops
