Turned out to be a easy fix, I have no experience doing this.. couple YouTube videos new parts saved lotta money.. old clutch broke last week on the river.. I wish the spring that locks the pin in place came with the kit.. bought it separately..

Exact match for my ‘00 Johnson 50. Smooth process if you have more than a basic level of mechanical skills. Changed everything out, ran it on the water for a couple miles using both forward and reverse. Then changed the fluid in the lower unit.
