My 35-3 has the same issue. The PO advised me about it, and we experienced it a bit while sailing her home last fall. Launched and sailed today and it was knocking a little more than last fall. But I recall someone on the list said to make sure the shifter lever is hard ahead. Mine wasn’t. When I held the lever there, no knocking at all through the rpm range. Do you think I can adjust the cable or levers to hold the shifter firmly in Fwd, or am I still looking at lapping the cones? The bungee cord was my friend today!

Guys this is fantastic information (and hopefully not too expensive)! Thanks to everybody for all the info. If I end up doing the work to remove the transmission I'll do my best to document the process for posterity.

I brushed a thin film of the compound (basically grit in grease) onto the mating surfaces, mated them, and rotated the cone back and forth. Did not do complete rotations only because Mr. Robinson told me not to in shop class back in ’78. (lawn mower valves – different thing as they don’t rotate in use.) Again, make sure you reassemble the parts as they were removed, (mark with a punch) and be really careful to clean away the compound. A solvent wash will show you how much grit there is, and how gritty is that grit. Here is a pretty decent link on this, one of the posts refers to a site with photos, where you can see the various parts. You will need a gear puller. http://forums.sailinganarchy.com/index.php?showtopic=154931 Dave Message: 1 Date: Tue, 10 May 2016 09:07:32 -0400 From: "Rick Brass" <rickbr...@earthlink.net> To: <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Subject: Re: Stus-List Soft thumping/banging when in gear at low-rpm?
