The slip yoke on the front prop shaft, even after changing the yoke and u joints still seems to be hitting my engine, digging into the engine housing a little bit! Idno how thick the case is but it freaks me out!! How ever it was like that for a while already and hasnt seem to have gotten worse. But its a sketchy situation. As if its wears through the housing than im up sh*ts creek. I cant make it hit the engine by hand, i guess it hits it when its under load. Anyone else ever had this issue or know someone who has?? Id sell it but id feel to bad if the next guy had major trouble.

Check for a broken motor mount.....

^^^^^^Dito!!!!

Oh there are three on the bottom side of the motor.

Just checked all the motor mounts, there all fine and tight. Heres a pick of where its hitting. Can see where its starting to shave away at the housing. Are the cases fairly thick?

 

[bp405]

Regardless if the case is thick or not you have a problem!!! Something is bent, loose, and/or broken.

What slip yoke did use?

 

[polman500]

Its a very close fit right there. The old one may have been rubbing because it was loose and wobbly. If the new one is also doing it you probably need to loosen the front mount and torque it over to the left as far as possible while tightening the mount back down. That front mount has a slotted hole.

I dont remember what brand of yoke i used and ill try and see if I can move the engine over a bit
