For use on 75 h.p. Engines, Models V4S(L)-12 and up.
An improved shift dog has been designed and is now being used in production on 75 h.p. engines, model V4S(L)-15. This improved shifter dog has four (4) driving lugs on each side (figure 1) and can be identified accordingly.
The improved shifter dog carries the same service part number (307095) as the two lug shifter dog. It will be available from your Parts Distributor for use as service replacement on all manual shift 75 h.p. engines. Parts Distributors will continue supplying the two lug shifter dog when part 307095 is ordered, until such time as inventories of the two lug dog are exhausted. At that time they will automatically supply the improved four lug version.
Shifting procedures do not change with use of this new shifter dog. The four lug design merely reduces clutch and gear engagement time - to prolong shifter dog life. Always advocate "snap" shifting as noted in owner manual.
This change in shifter dog design has not necessitated a change in the design of forward and reverse gears. Accordingly, this four lug shifter dog can be installed in any Model V4S(L), 75 h.p. gearcase - 1960 and up - without having to change any other parts. It can also be installed in the 1961 model V4A(L)-13 gearcase in the same manner.
