[C38] RPM for smooth transmission change

[Craig Sailor6147]

The clutches in the transmission are worn. Either rebuild or replace the tranny.

Hello All

I just read every posting since 2005 containing the word "transmission" and I did not find what I was looking for.

It seems to me that I need lesser and lesser RPM to effect a transmission change, very close to the point of stalling. I don't have an idle setup, the boat's stock throttle goes all the way down to cutoff so it's a matter of listening to the engine which sometimes is difficult in high winds.


What could be causing the transmission's lack of proper shifting until the RPM is very low? Is time to rebuild/replace/sell the boat?

Thanks for your time.
