Atomic 4 transmission (bjarki)
Posted: 12:52:11 pm on 6/22/2019 Modified: Never

My transmission does not engage in forward or rear. The transmission shifter works and moves clearly forward and aft. I heard a noise and it sounded like a massive slip or breakage. I need to access the transmission box, but does anyone have tips or suggestions? Does anyone have experience replacing the transmission without hauling out the engine (as I am able to pick up a cheap replacement in our club)? I know what the transmission access plate looks like and I understand the operation of the forward 3 finger teeth versus the reverse drum actuation. The fact that it works in neither direction does not bode well?

Several A4's I witnessed never really clicked into reverse and the skipper held the shifter back with his foot or hand and a whirl noise was heard.
Also, one time a skipper had the same phenomenon going forward and a sharp eye discovered that the raw water intake hose was interfering with the big shifter lever down in the engine compartment.

Good Luck

Thanks that gives me something to troubleshoot.

I suggest you search and post over on Moyermarine.com There is a sub-forum dedicated to the reversing gear ... Also grab a copy of their Atomic 4 manual and there is a reversing gear video that you can purchase.
