Boat is shifting hard OUT of gear?

[SpringVelocity]

Replace your shift interrupt switch. It is either that or idle is too high. That would be my guess.

no one wants to say it but we all know it, he hit another log.... time to bust out another 10k.

lol just joking!!

I don't think his diesels have a shift interruptor switch like Mercruiser uses.Could be wrong,I'm no mechanic.

Most likely it will be the cone clutches

My understanding was that when the cones become glazed they shift softer and then not at all (I've done both sides because of this already). It didn't make sense to me that it would clunk coming out of gear. I'm talking reverse to neutral, after it shifts to neutral there's like a split second delay and then CLUNK! almost like it's trying to throw itself straight from reverse to forward.

Call Don he's the master of the Volvo universe.


I do know that shifting the Volvo legs in and ut of gear constantly ruins the cones.

I’ve done a cone clutch and the problem was the opposite of yours. In my situation, there was a long delay in getting the boat in and out of gear and it was very “soft”.

Yes that's typical and happened before

Idle will have nothing to do with clunking out of gear, idling to fast will cause clunk into gear but not out. From what you have mentioned its clunking coming out of reverse into neutral. I would suspect your reverse lock isn't locking in reverse and the drive is kicking up, once you shift to neutral the drives falls down and that is your clunk. Try shifting at the dock while someone stands on the grid and watches, you will probably see it coming up. Early Volvo drives such as yours had reverse locks that can get foaled with growth/barnacles, not saying for sure this is happening but it's the first place I would check.

Finally someone that understands me. Thanks I'll check it out

Nothing yet, but Chris at Inlet thinks it might be the reverse lock thingamajiggy. Need to pull the boat...again.

If it is the reverse lock then you can damage the leg by doing a hard reverse as the leg will kick right up. I have seen one ripped off
