[QUOTE="WVfishnfool, post: 354590, member: 10364"] Sounds like you might be OK on the lower unit. One question though did you fill the unit from the bottom up with one of the pump type fillers until the fluid ran out of the vent hole on top ? This is the proper way so you get all the air out. Then once it is full you drain about 1 or 2 ounces back out to allow for expansion when the gear lube gets hot. This keeps it from putting excessive force on the seals. Also since you didn't have any water in the L/U you might be alright on the shift shaft seal. Glad you got the reverse lock figured out as well. The wiring can you not just replace the wire that burned out by splicing some new wire in? That is once you find out what the problem was. As far as changing out a wiring harness the existing harness running back to the engine from the control should have a plug somewhere so you can disconnect it from the engine without having to remove all the wiring from the engine. It maybe under the cowling(hood for you being and auto tech :lol: ) somewhere. But on an older engine I don't know you may have to disconnect it all. [/QUOTE]
