    trans fluid leak

    at times they will pop the 10 psi breather while under a hard run and it will be hard to notice, the control valve area also has an o-ring that will leak. in forward full power you are using to different clutch packs and the oil will "sling" different directions, so it also as noted is a...

    Reverse Interrupter Switch

    if your shift cable is at all corroded and does not move freely, it will cause the switch to shutter and stall the boat, it is designed to stall the boat for a micro second and most times if the cable is bad it will stall going into reverse moreso than forward.

    Ignition timing

    Hurth 630 Transmision

    seal kit, 200.00 clutch plate kit 700.00, labor 500.00, average unlike a clutch in a car, plates really dont wear in an oil bath, they are good or they are bad, if bad the trans will drag, because of some other failure, i.e, worn pump, low oil and to the likes. if they had 10,000 hours on them i...
