    Default Trans Clunk

    Hey guys

    When I put my 2013 LSV in gear, it makes a clunk sound as it goes in to forward drive. Is that normal? I haven't been on other boats to really compare that sort of think.

    What does your trans oil and fluid look like? When were they last changed? There are two separate oil systems. Gear oil for the gears and transmission fluid for the clutch - don't mix them up if you do change them!

    My transmission fluid looks great. My vdrive oil looks great.

    Where would I find the gear oil you mentioned?

    Going back to my original question. Does your boat give a clunk when going into gear?

    see my post in your other thread. check your coupler bolts on the output shaft to the propeller shaft. I bet they're loose.

    There will be an engagement clunk but it's a very solid low type of noise

    Deff check coupler, drive bolts, also check engine mounts, trans mount bolts

    Maybe pull the V drive cover off watch and listen as someone puts it in gear
