I did some searches, and can't find exactly what I am looking for. I am looking for info on what is making my bravo 3 go into gear hard. Goes into reverse pretty good. When I shift into forward, the engine rev's a little before the drive shifts into gear and then it clunks into gear.

Do the Bravo drives use the micro switch on the throttle linkage that kills the ignition for a sec like the Alpha drives had ? I had an Alpha that was clunking going into gear and it was the problem .
C.T. :wink:
No, there is no interrupt switch on Bravo drives
So, I am not sure if I fixed my problem, but I have helped it for now. What I ended up doing is just adjusting the shifter linkage a little. Now it shifts into gear a little earlier.
The adjustment I made was on my linkage that shifts the drive into forward or reverse. I left the throttle alone. Other than fixing my problem, the only other thing it did was give me a little less reverse speed. Now when I shift into reverse, it takes a little longer for the throttle to actually start increasing the RPM.
I don't know too much about these drives (first sterndrive), could it be that my clutch is going bad. I don't even know if this has a clutch.
check your idle. if its too high it will also cause problems, both in/out of gear
I hear that these drives do clunk into gear a little harder than the standard bravo because you are swinging so much prop and it also has less slip. My B3 clunks more than my B1 did but its not harsh. I think it is normal.
I think my idle was ok. Also, when I shift into reverse it was shifting fine. Looks like I got it fixed.

I don't think you can adjust the idle on the EFI anyway, can you?
Not sure. Does it matter that my boat is TPI? I know it has a throttle position sensor, but there are a couple of cables that I can adjust.
