[QUOTE="MOE, post: 196022, member: 5668"] I've been reading the forum for a few weeks and let me say this place is filled with great info and ideas. I have a 8hp envinrude. Not sure what year but I would guess it was made around 1990 from pics I have seen. Motor runs great but last weekend it quit shifting. It will go in reverse and neutral with no problems. When I shift it into forward, the shifter moves but it does not go in gear. My brother was using the boat when it happened and he said it just quit shifting. Has anyone had a similar problem or know what might be the cause? Any input would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to put it in a shop. I've never worked on an outboard, but I'm pretty sure I could do whatever is needed with a little guidance. Thanks in advance, MOE [/QUOTE]
