I installed a new shifter with a short shift handle and really noticed hard shifting into reverse. Harder than forward. I tore the drive apart and disconnected the shift cable at the shift linkage and the shift is smooth in both directions.
After breaking out the Mercruiser service manual, thanks to Don Tamm via a Farmer, and searching out hard shifting, it looks like there is an upgrade kit for the Bravo 1 drives.
My shift cam has part number 806790 and my drive is a 0L serial.
It looks like I need a YOKE & CAM ASSY Mercruiser 806552A1. Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with this?
Thanks,
Taz
