Default Transmission slipping

On 2008-03-17 15:20:30 -0400, Dr. Di said:

Does anyone have experience with an anti-slip additive for marine
transmissions?

We changed the fluid, checked the linkage, and have been babying it
since first noticed.. It doesn't have an oil cooler, and I'm aware
that might help, but what we have is what we have..

Anyone with suggestions?

I do believe you should pull the tranny, break it down, and replace the
worn parts. When a wet clutch stops working, there are often other worn
parts. I'd pay particular attention to the spring(s), which do get weak
over time. (Note: this is from motorcycle maintenance; I've not had to
touch a boat transmission except to change the oil.)
