Jason,
I had several “issues” with my transmission. I have the service manual on it
and did a complete adjustment according to the manual and it now works
satisfactorily.
I do not have to hold it in reverse with the shifting lever. However, if there
was no friction in the shifting cable I don’t see how it would stay in reverse
gear. As mentioned in another email,
“in reverse you are applying pressure to a band that is around a drum. The
harder you push the lever in reverse that stronger the engagement.”

Hi
My landfall has the paragon v-drive transmission system. When I go forward it
feels like the leaver “clicks” into place, however, when going in reverse it
feels like it is just friction that is holding it in gear. The problem I am
experiencing is that when in reverse and the rpm’s are up the leaver slips out
of gear. The only way it stays in reverse is to hold the leaver down. I have
tried adjusting the cable tension bolt under the deck to no avail, cable
becomes to hard to move. I am wondering if this is just an issue with my boat
or have others experienced similar problems. If you have had this happen what
is the fix. From what I can find no one really deals with these old
transmission any more. Any help that can be offered is appreciated.
Regards,
