hello out there.
i have a 25 yr old.volvo 36 hk 3cyl. 17 c. motor. with a mono shift back gear.
THE PROBLEM
last season i had trouble with reverse.when i pulled into reverse there could go 30 sec before the coupling engaged. some one suggested over this forum. that i could remove one or two of the shims under the quadrant bolt. it seemed to help. last year. but its started again.
i have taken the gearbox out of the boat. its lying in my work shed.
i have taken the aft end of the geargox away from the middel part. so i want to see whats going on in the part where the seawater cooling runs.i have taken the C ring off the axel. but when i using a plastic hammer try to knock the axel out i can feel there is something solid. a C ring or something. and if i look at the aft end of the box where the flange is.it looks like there is a thread.
i have a workshop book but its in swedish. please can anyone help me.

hello to anyone reading this message. or my prior message. i have now completely dismantled the gearbox. without wrecking anything. and i can see that the lining on one side of the double conical coupling. the oil grooves are not the same depth. so there must be some wear.
anyone with any good tips/warnings are welcome

best regards tony
