(174.196.10.199) | I have a Mercury XR4 150 that goes into reverse just fine but the only way I can get it into forward is to rev the engine up, with hot-foot, and slam it in forward. If the motor is at idle and I try forward, it just grinds. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks |

(68.169.175.15) | sounds like a busted clutch dog in the lower unit. |
