Teleflex, I think a 700SS, gear lever on Westerly with Bukh DV20 stuck. Press red button in and throttle works ok. Release red button, which pops out, to go into drive. Cannot move lever forward or back despite spraying with silicone, maintenance oil, and soaking in Plus Gas. Removed all cable linkages at the back and tapped button from behind. Still wont move., Removed red plastic cap. Attempted to remove gear lever from shaft by undoing allen nut, levering, even applied heat from blowlamp ! Will not come off the shaft. I think the button is protruding sufficiently but something else jamming but cannot access or even fit a new unit until gear lever handle removed from shaft. Last resort hacksaw it off and fit new though probably no longer available ??
