Dual shift lever adjustment on a 1988 270da. twin 4.3l

[skyscraper88]

I would like to know if there is any way to adjust the throttle levers on my 270da. They operate fine after they are in gear, but the problem occurs when trying to engage the gears or shift back to neutral. they both are very hard to shift and it makes it difficult to maneuver when trying to get into a slip or to the dock. Any suggestions??? :smt100

Well, what kind of shifter do you have? On my Teleflex Twin S I can take it apart and grease it, (not that that does much good), and there are stops in there which you screw adjust from the outside, but I'd look at your throttle cable/s for replacement maybe. Or maybe it/they are too sharply turned/kinked? Does it have a "Too much friction" feel?

WD 40 , I sprayed mine , let it run down in the cables, much better now.
