DF 140 Clutch shaft holder

[gamefish]

Is there any way to replace the clutch shaft holder and bushing on my DF 140 Suzuki without removing the powerhead. Any advice would be welcome.

not exactly sure what a clutch shaft holder is, can you explain a bit more?

It is called the clutch shaft holder in the manual on the mid unit. It has a brass bushing-it gets salted up making shifting gears difficult. It is situated between the powerhead and drive shaft housing. Unfortunately the shaft holder has snapped so I have to replace the part. Thanks for any help. Dont really want to remove the entire power head to replace this part.

I know this is a 1 year old thread.
BUT, I am wondering what your outcome was, I just had the same problem and wondering what had to be done and the cost!!!

Thank you!
