Velvet drive transmission rebuild manual

Call or email to verify Current Prices. Simplicity Marine Products is a full service marine shop. We would be glad to quote you to rebuilding your Velvet Drive transmission. Many times your used marine gear can be rebuild for much less than you think. If any measurement exceeds this limit, it points to a bent propeller shaft, bent coupling, broken, worn or out-of-alignment motor mount.

Install a flexible coupling plate, if your out-of-alignment condition can not be remedied. Listen and feel for heavy vibrations when at full throttle, or from accelerating from a standing start. Also listen for a metallic clanking sound when the shift lever is placed in forward or reverse, at recommended rpm.

Vibrations and heavy metal or gear noise can indicate a defective vibration damper. On the Velvet Drive, this can lead to complete transmission failure. Use a socket to remove the transmission coupler to the shaft coupler; then remove the bell housing bolts. Remove all cooling lines with flare wrenches, and unsnap wire connectors.

Pull the transmission back and inspect the damper. Look for broken mounting bolts on the damper, which will be attached to the flywheel, on a rear damper configuration.

For a front mount crankshaft damper, remove the main damper bolt with a socket and pull the damper loose for inspection. Front-mount dampers can be split at the seam or have a scuffed, marred or worn inner race.

Rear flywheel dampers will have broken weld seams or internal component breakage. Replace the damper in either of these situations.
