- 7.4 mpi bravo 3
So I am new to the forums here but have been using some of the posts as guides over the years. Have a problem i cant solve and was hoping someone else could provide some input.
7.4l MPI with bravo drive is clunking when in neutral. It still is clunking in drive but its less noticeable. Pulled the drive, checked alignment and pulled upper covers off. All looked clean. No metal in the drive oil either. Ran the boat with no drive and it sounded good with no vibration. Gimbal is smooth and the u joint dont seem to have any sloppiness to them. So im thinking either the coupler (which i would think would be slipping) or u joints and im a bad judge of them. Anything else to look at?
Sorry for the long first post but im getting pretty desperate as the season isnt too long here on in Northeast Ohio. Thanks for any insight you can provide.
