Yers forumites, stop rubbing your eyes, you've read correctly:
I want to MAKE my automatic transmission (borg warner 71 something with mermaid marine force four stick) in gear, well particularly the clutch of course!
First, the jet drive dingy was stuck in forward due to low oil (the cooler was swapping oil for water at this time as I worked out). Only it wasn't really an issue, since I could use the the "bucket" on the drive as gears by directing the jet drive output, even though I suspect thre may have been some slippage at the top end. It had run out of oil and there was water in it. I ran it in this format for a while, before I elected to overhaul the oil cooler and put oil in again.
Perhaps as a result, the gears have started working again, but the transmission is slipping massively in forward,
From years of salt water exposure, the transmission casing is corroded into one rusty red lump, I cannot even see half of the bolts, and this particular boat is due for remotorization anyaway, and I'm definitely not overhauling this dinosaur trash technology with forumloads of issues wherever I look to redo the clutch!
I may be convinced to check on hydraulic pressure but alone locating and/or opening the screw on that takeoff port,,,
So, and I know this might prove controversial, I'd like to make this drive lock in forward gear, and yes, ideally permanently and without slippage. 2K epoxy?Sand? What does it need?
Any ideas?
