## 📋 Kit Contents

-   1 × complete assembled HS85IVE-A reversing gear - 22943747
-   Integrated forward and reverse clutch packs - assembled within the complete gear
-   Integrated input, countershaft and output-shaft gear train - assembled within the complete gear
-   Integrated hydraulic valve and lubrication system - assembled within the complete gear
-   Oil cooler, flexible coupling, connecting cover and installation hardware are serviced separately unless included on the engine package

## 🔌 Function

The reversing gear hydraulically selects forward, neutral or reverse and reduces engine speed to the propeller-shaft speed required by the vessel installation.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Delayed or harsh engagement
-   Clutch slip under load
-   Transmission-oil pressure or temperature fault
-   Oil leakage, contaminated lubricant or damaged output coupling

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Work clean and dry — the reversing gear circulates its oil through everything in this kit, so grit introduced during assembly ends up in the gears and bearings
-   Fit the new seals, gaskets and locking parts supplied with the kit and discard the corresponding old ones, including any that still look serviceable
-   Inspect the flexible coupling, shift linkage, control cable and mountings while the gear is accessible; worn ones will undo the benefit of the new parts
-   Refill with the oil grade and quantity specified for your reversing gear, then recheck the level after a short run once the new parts have taken up oil
-   Confirm the gear engages fully and cleanly in both ahead and astern and returns properly to neutral before the boat is used
