Phil check your email I sent you this
Phil
Thank You very much for all your help, I was thinking about exactly what happened when I noticed the problem when I was out fishing last Saturday, and the very first thing I noticed was when I was going from forward to shift to neutral it shifted down quickly to reverse and then when I tried shifting back to neutral again it went to forward, it was hard to get it in neutral , not impossible but it seemed like the neutral area had shrunk, I remember doing that a couple times while fishing trying to shift to neutral from forward and having it go past and into reverse, that had never happened before , again it wasnt impossible to get into neutral and I was able to it just was harder to do, not physical harder . I hope this makes sense , also when it was in its slowest position in forward or reverse it was faster then it was before and again idled faster in neutral. I am not sure the thermostat would have caused this and I am curious what you thoughts were. Thanks John
