[C320-list] Transmission Problem

[WINDER & KIRONDE]

Have you checked the fluid level?  I was having trouble shifting and
adding transmission fluid solved the problem.

My transmission is going into forward with increasing difficulty. The
lever moves fine, and I've replaced the cables twice in the lat 18
months, but the problem is getting much worse. When pushing the lever
forward, there is little or no propulsion. We thought it was the two
blade folding prop failing to open, but checking the prop in and out
of the water indicates it works fine. Perhaps the clutch? When it does
engage, it does so with a bang (again causing us to suspect the prop),
and sometimes with several intermittent bangs at random intervals. I
have little doubt that I've abused it through the last year or so of
this happening, but it's now becoming a safety issue that must be
fixed.

 

Anything sound familiar here? All thoughts and recommendations are
appreciated.
