shift rod - Johnson J150EXEDB

[ronnieverette]

Adjusting the new shift cable doesn't throw the arm enough to engage reverse. It has "popped" into reverse but the RPMs are rising and i'm sure it will destroy something. I suppose the shift rod is not at correct length. Maybe it's the clutch dog, but I hope not.

What is the correct length for the shift rod? 1996 Johnson J150EXEDB

Pushing this thing off the trailer and docking are really hard with no reverse.

if it is really close... perhaps the shift rod has screw adjustability? doubtful that the reverse clutch/drive dog in poor shape....as fwd usually 1st to go on outboards. unfortunately i do not know enough about the newer engines to be very helpful here.

Need a little history on this. Did it start all of a sudden, have you worked on the g/c, have you got a manual on how to adjust the shift cable, does the linkeage all work freely ???

The shift rod height is adjustable on those models I believe. The spec for my '98 motor (J150EXECD) is 26-1/4" height. Since your motor is EX as well, it should be the same.
