Noise when in Reverse

OK.. Thanks for taking the time to look. When it shifts into forward, most of the time its smooth, but sometimes I hear a small squeak. I tried to search on this forum for "damper", but my browser keeps giving me an error whenever I search.

I was able to google it and find on a different forum on how to change it out.

My boat has 1,014 hrs on it. '87 model... AFAIK, the damper is original, so maybe it is time.

Wheres a good source to get a good damper plate?

Here is a you tube video. I can hear it at the 4sec mark and then again at 15 to 16sec mark.

Put the boat in the water yesterday afternoon to see what I could find. Removed the clamshell and the back cover over the bilge so I could see the shaft good. There is no play in the shaft coming out of tranny (either radially or axially). Also down at the prop, there is a very small amount of radial play in the bearing supporting the shaft next to the prop. Is this the cutlass bearing?

When in reverse, I do here the whinning from the tranny, but I can also here this deep like rumbling sound when I give some throttle. No its not my pipes..haha... I dont hear it so bad if I'm in reverse and idle speed.

Talking about changing the fluid, how's the best way to get the fluid out of the tranny. Didnt see a drain. pump it out maybe? Mine is a Velvet Drive, BTW, not a Borg Warner.

havent really watched the tach, but I would say its between 1k to 2k.

As far as changing the fluid, I have never changed it. I bought the boat last July. Not sure when the PO changed it last....if he ever did at all. Wouldnt hurt to go ahead and do that, that way I would know for sure when it was changed.

I'll check things out a little closer this afternoon. I might put it in the water and remove the clam shell and the floor panel so I can watch whats going on when I shift to rev. Maybe that will point to something.
If there was excessive wear in the bore of the drive shaft support bearing (the one next to the prop)would this do it? Seems like it would make some noise in forward also if that was the case.. maybe not.

You also hear prop wash a lot more under the hull when giving throttle in reverse.

Most of them making kind of whirring/whining sound when in reverse. I don't know exactly why, but it's not uncommon.

Is this beyond that?
