My shifter feels like it is grinding when it is moved into forward and reverse. It is a "CONTROL SINGLE MV TELEFLEX" per Nautique Parts. Any thoughts on the cause? Can I get parts or a rebuild kit for it? ------------- Jim |

Lube the ends if your cables with WD 40 or a similar mild penetrating lube. The grinding usually comes from the cables not the Control. If that doesn't help proceed to the link Pete posted. |

I'd stay away from the WD 40.....works pretty good for loosening things up but after time it gets gummy. There are better products. ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.

I looked more closely at the shifter. The one in the thread seems to be a prior generation. I lubricated it liberally and I still feel some grinding. The plates that move the cables are on top of each other. The grinding seems to be coming from the plates, as if a nylon washer or something else is worn out or missing. ------------- Jim |
