Shaft,​ Shifter,​ Tiller

Removed all parts to get to gearbox, opened two halves cleaned out water and old grease. Replace shift shaft, spring and ball. New gasket. All works like new

Completely disassemble tiller main case
Remove all grease,if it is brown it had water in it.this case are a two piece shell type.
Replace the shiftier rod,spring bearing,water gets inside where the spring and ball are. Mine got water inside from using the pressure washer to clean.
Use 400 grit sandpaper to polish any rusty shafts.
Re-lube chain and gears using good grease,Valvoline #2 red grease works good.
Make sure to work grease into the needle bearings real good ,as they don't get any grease otherwise it's the way they designed them.
Clean off the mating surface of the two halves with acetone or lacquer thinner.
Use a bead of automotive silicon seal without a gasket to seal.put a bead inline with the bolt holes and at the holes go all the way around the hole.
Carefully put the shell half back on taking care not to forget any parts ,tighten as needed .
Let sealer set up 24 hours before using.
