changeing lower shift shaft seal ?

Shift Shaft Assembly <br />REMOVAL <br />NOTE: It is possible to remove and service the shift shaft assembly (but not the shift crank <br />inside the gear case) without removing any of the internal components of the gear housing. <br />1. Remove the shift shaft bushing screws and remove the shift shaft by pulling it straight <br />out of gear housing. <br /><br /><br />on page 3B-47 it says you can slip it out without takeing apart the gear box <br /><br />and kind of leaves you hanging <br /><br />just wondering if the shift crank is likely to fall out of position while changeing the seal ? or its as simple in real life as the manual says<br /><br />tommays

Tommays, just take a phillips screw driver and hold the shaft down while removing the seal and bushing assm. so the shaft don't pull out of the shift yoke---Bob

Just pull the shaft and all, nothing will fall loose inside the drive. When you put it back together, make sure the shaft is straight forward when the drive is in forward gear.
