OB lower unit problem ??
I'm trying to replace the lower unit oil in my 3.3 Mercury (aka 3 1/2
Tohatsu, Nissan and others), and there seems to be a blockage preventing much oil from flowing in and exiting through the top hole. Actually, I haven't gotten any to exit the top hole. At first I could hear some air escaping, but that stopped no matter how hard I squeezed the oil container. Also when I drained the oil it came out slower than I expected. Perhaps this is related to something else I noticed. With the shifter in gear, there is about 120 degrees of backlash or free play. That seems like too much. Is it ?? Before I tear the thing apart, I thought I'd ask if any one had any idea for a simpler solution. |
