  • FAQ: Reversing Gear



    6. My reversing gear doesn't engage reverse. - Top

    Your symptoms are much more indicative of a brace pin that has slipped out of the starboard ear of the brake band. You may remember that the only thing which holds the brake band in place, with respect to fore and aft positioning, is an arm called the "brace". The brace, in turn, is attached to the brake band by the small tapered pin that is pressed into the starboard ear of the band.

    Fortunately, you should be able to install one of our new brace pins without the need to remove the entire reversing gear from the engine. The pins are shown in the Kits and Accessories section of our online catalog, and carry a product number of KTAS_02_87.

    The brace itself (in case yours might be broken) is shown in the Overhaul section under Reversing Gear and Drive Train. The brace has a product number of OREV_17_161. Unfortunately, the brace cannot be replaced without removing the shifting yoke and shaft, which means that the reversing gear will probably have to be removed from the engine.

    You can order these parts online or by calling our telephone sales representative at (717) 625-3891. - Updated: November 4, 2003
