A little help.
I was running this weekend and my 2006 proXS slipped out of gear and wont go in when I put in forward or reverse. Think I may have hit a stump. Anyone have an idea of what my problem may be. Lower unit, gearbox???
is it possible to just be knocked out of gear and i can pull my LU and reset?
Thanks for the help!!
VERY unlikely.
You can disconnect the shift cable inside the cowling, and attempt to move the shift slide forward, and backwards "by hand" to see if it engages.
If not- I would highly recommend enlisting the "hands-on expertise" of a Certified or Master Technician.
Gearcase repairs are not well-suited to the "DIY'er".

Don,
Thanks for the help. I worked on it last night and it is hard to put it in reverse, although the gear is still not engaging. I checked the LU fluid and there were no shavings that i could see. I plan to take it in tomorrow and have it looked at.
Again, thanks for the help!!
