He did wonder of it ever got hot. Me not knowing the entire history of the boat can not answer that.  I will say that after I looked at the broken gear it doesn’t appear to be all that sturdy. A little ball is used instead of a square key to keep it from spinning on the shaft. My untrained eye would have me believe that is where the failure began..🤷🏻‍♂️

Did he tell you if it had other issues that caused the gear to break? Or it just broke?

Joe rebuilt the trans this week and I finally got the stubborn broke off riser bolt out today. It took the oxy act torch for heat but it did release!  Happy day!

Hey Bill.  I have a fresh rebuilt 40 transmission I will sell.  I pulled it out of a 1994 Sport Nautique and replaced is with a PCM 80.  It was leaking fluid when I pulled it.  It has all new gaskets and clutches in it.  Let me know if you are interested.  $1200 plus shipping.

Upon disassembly I had to remove the manifold risers and one of the bolts broke off. Stainless steel bolt. Have been soaking it with the 50/50 acetone trans oil mix. Tried heating and quenching with map gas several times with no success. Suggestions are welcome. Drilling it out is not working with the bits I’ve tried. 

On the trans… it arrived at fantastic finish today.

Keno-you've got mail.  that is if I remembered your email address correctly!

Not yet Bill,        keno439@gmail.com

I hope it's a picture or 2  I just hate it when that happens Wink

Probably time to talk to Joe and see what he has in the parts collection

The rotation you describe is normal

I'd still take the pump off to see if the rotating shaft is making the gear rotate and you could pull the selector out if you think it moves too easily. 

They're both pretty non intrusive.

Thanks Keno.  Now about the address I need to send this to so you can complete the rebuild?!?!?Wink  I also left a message at Fantastic Finish Marine inquiring about the next steps.

Well in that case, as a start I think I'd pull the pump off and inspect the gears and the little oil pump drive ball that makes the inner gear of the pump turn with the input shaft so you can be sure the pump was rotating as it should be.

Here's a link to a YouTube video that's worth watching.

It's not exactly the best it could be. but it's better than I could do Wink 

He kinda breezes right through some steps, usually the harder ones and I seem to think he left out the big casing gasket when assembling, but there's plenty of good info.


Here's a link to a manual, courtesy of SkiDim

Finally got around to this project. Damper plate looks like new. I also just re read Kenos advice about pump pressure testing…after I removed the trans!🤷🏻‍♂️

Me and PCM transmissions don't get along too well since when they break parts, some of those parts are crazy expensive.and they're hard to find.

I'd cross your fingers and hope it's a damper plate. Wink

The manual shows how to test pump pressure, if you haven't started disassembling things yet

Keno-  if that’s the case then I hope I can rely on you and your vast knowledge for the repair!

Since damper plates usually make quite a racket when they break and the engine is running, I think that "no noise" points toward the transmission itself.

No noise and I believe he checked fluid. I’ll ask tho. The no noise was a question I was concerned about as well.

Does it make a bunch of metal grinding against metal grinding noises?

Or no extra noises at all?

I imagine you checked the fluid level and just didn.t mention it in the first post.

That would be my guess. It was probably tired and finally let go. 33 years on the same damper plate...It had a good run. Pull the starter and have a looksie inside the bell housing to see if you have a bunch of "Spare Parts" in the bottom.

Friend of mine has a 1989 Ski and said he was driving along just fine made a few circles (bat turns i suspect) at medium speed motor quit running and would not start- cranked slowly but no start.  Sat around for a few minutes and it fired and ran.  Went to put it into gear and nada.  No forward nor reverse.  Drive shaft was not spinning in either direction.  Shift lever on trans was moving in both directions to detents.  Prop was still on and drive shaft in tact.  Damper plate? Any other suggestions? The trans is the pcm 40 series I believe.
