Came across your Transmission info and would like to impose on you with a question I am having trouble getting an answer to. I Have a 1970 Nautaline houseboat with a 318 Chrysler engine with a Dana #80 outdrive. The info on the bell housing is: Model LM318, Type-BDL 16-386, Serial # E-051352. With ths info can you tell me what type and model transmission I might have? Thank you very very much in advance....TPN

Hi, Recently I purchased an older 36' Hatteras Sportfish that has a pair of Crusader 454 engines with Paragon transmissions. I brought the boat from L.I. NY to Boston MA. On my trip after 8 hours I heard the transmission making a knocking sound in the Idle position. I had my mate put his hand on the transmission and you could feel it knocking. We had 80 miles to go and I brought the boat back to crusie speed and the knock went away under power but it still knocks in neutral and in reverse. I plan on pulling the transmission and rebuilding her. Do you think under power in forward I can get the rest of the season another two months. I have gone 200 miles @ 17 knots since it first started making the knock.
