Okm now i have had all fluids changed twice in the last year.. And i have never had it in water except going down the road ,,, any help pain in the --- . ((((((( IS THIS NORMAL )))))

I believe those use a cable. One of the cable seals may be damaged. Possibly got water in cable.

 

[boat567b]

Yes they do have cable i was going to put new cable on // but was told they are a bit-- to change dont look that bad to me ?

 

[Jester32]

They dont look bad. I was just at my shop and looked under one.

 

[boat567b]

Thats what i thought i will see thanks for the info.

 

[boat567b]

Trying to find one on line but no luck probably dealer /

 

[Jester32]

Probably. Is it off warranty.

 

[boat567b]

Yes

 

[Jester32]

Oh ya. Dealer will be best bet.

You can verify it's the cable by crawling under it when it won't shift. Pop the cable off the t-case and move it by hand. That will eliminate t-case from the possible problems.

 

[boat567b]

Yes i dont think its the case because when it does this i can start it let it warm up alittle and its fine ... Like it warms the cable up then moves smooth

 

[Jester32]

Ya that's good point.

 

[boat567b]

What is weird is this thing only has 38,000 miles on it 2007 never off road.

 

[Jester32]

Ya. Cables are not the greatest in reliability. They are nice and smooth but some oil or other damage can damage the seal. And the seals just wear out.

 

[boat567b]

Yes im changing it
