Ok, So I have a Borg Warner 72CR/C 2.5 to 1 gear ratio. Its attached to a Perkins T6.354m. Now the Problem is that the shift selector has been sticking. The longer it sits without use, the harder it sticks. It can be freed up from moving the shift selector back and forth until it clicks into forward and reverse.
No gear noise while in either gear. Since the first day I got the boat It makes a "Thud" when you put in reverse and while in reverse it makes a high pitched whirring sound that doesn't sound irregular.
So my question is, How to fix the shift selector from being stuck? because its a big pain in the rear to have to go down and free it up before we go out and not to mention after I've been in forward for hours and it sticks while im trying to go into neutral and trying to dock.
Also more information on the subject, The transmission was ran dry or close to dry for a long period of time (300 hours or more?). I'm youthful and made the mistake of not checking the fluid. I don't make that mistake anymore.
Probably a month before the boat sat for the winter I discovered a milky substance on the ceiling of the Cap/dipstick so I excavated the oil and added new oil, ran the engine few times and then repeated and ran the engine again and milky substance no longer appeared. my guess was water had gotten in tranny from bilge getting too high.
