Customer stated the motor would shift but the lower unit wouldn’t actually go into gear… wellllll we found the problem 😂⚓
This lower unit officially has what we call a “disco party” going on inside 🪩💀
Metallic gear oil, metal flakes, and enough glitter in the drain pan to start a craft project. Motor itself runs great, but the gears and bearings down below are definitely not having a good time anymore.
If your lower unit starts:
👉 whining
👉 grinding
👉 clunking
👉 slipping out of gear
👉 not engaging properly
👉 or leaking water into the gear oil
DON’T ignore it and keep running it. Catching it early can save a whole lot of money before gears and bearings completely self destruct.
