According to them I need to bump the transmission back into alignment, get the three bolts through Yanmar, and reinstall them. He mentioned it would be a five minute job once I have the parts from the Yanmar dealer.
Now I've got to locate a Yanmar dealer near me.
Certainly sounds easy enough and I hope that's all there is to it.
If you'll read or TRY to read this extract from my Yanmar 2002 shop manual, you'll see why I didn't bother to pull the pages to send to you way back in the beginning. Maybe if I had the xmission in front of me and read the description a few thousand times over, it may have seeped in through osmosis, but I gave up early as it just did not make sense.
Thank you. I will review this.
At the moment, I'm searching for the part numbers of the three bolts as well as the shims I need. I'm not sure where to get it. My transmission is the Kanzaki KM2P with a 2.62 gear ratio.
Edit: Got the part numbers from the catalog.
Shim Set:
177088-06380
Center Bolt:
177088-06360
Collar Bolts (Need 2):
26013-080252
I guess I'll just order them up and see how they fit. Praying the threads catch and everything works out!

I took some photos of my Kanzaki KH2P Transmission shift assembly lever area you are asking about. I have no leaks of fluids in or around the area and see no signs of a weep hole you ask about as well. I know its not the same transmission as yours, mine is for a Yanmar 3GM30F but is shows how the assembly is attached. Sometimes it helps to see a picture as well as a reference point. Not the easiest of places to get a good photo, but you’ll see the matchup.
