I realise this issue has been raised before on the forum, but I could not find a conclusive answer - maybe there isn't one! Here goes anyway. The transmission on my Volvo Penta MD2030 is "lazy" and does not engage for at least 10 seconds (longer unless you find just the right amount of revs) in both ahead and astern. This was only an occasional problem but it is now becoming more frequent and obviously will be somewhat nerve-wracking in challenging mooring situations etc. Any thoughts on the fixability of this problem (I'm not an engineer, just a blundering amateur), or should I be sourcing a new gearbox?
