No 1st gear or neutral

blaxmax · Mar 10, 2016

So I"m riding along in 5th gear for 3 miles and when I come to a red light I cannot downshift at all. Roll to a stop and shifter wont move. I take the linkage off and try to move with pliers and just a little but didn't really feel anything move. Put the linkage back on and start to take off in 5th gear. I kicked it down to 2nd and make it home using 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th.I have no 1st gear and no neutral. It is in 2nd and I can change through to 5th but there feels like nothing there below 2nd gear-just play.I read through all the drivetrain threads and nothing like it yet. Changed oil 2 weeks ago with no problems.

Possible shift selector issue.
Check the how to section. There is a thread on this.

Common on older vmaxii. The parts were updated in later years

Shift segment, not selector.
Hopefully that's all it is and nothing deeper

Yes, the shift segment losing a few pins would be my first guess too.

I'll contact sean, I can't find the parts on boats.net.

Read the attached guide.

And this is a list of the parts needed:
4NK-18185-00-00 SEGMENT Qty: 1
93604-12037-00 PIN, DOWEL Qty: 5
93604-16092-00 PIN, DOWEL Qty: 1
3JP-15462-00-00 gasket crankcase cover Qty: 1
and maybe a 90151-06013-00 torx bolt to replace the one you're gonna take out (it is prone to stripping)

Thanks Dennis, I found the thread with the part numbers and have been looking for the parts somewhere different from yamaha. They are MILES from me.

http://www.ronayers.com/oemparts/partsearch/yamahaI guess I had segment in the wrong spot.
