The last few times out I've had difficulty shifting into reverse. It will go in but I have to use a lot more pressure than before. It seems to have come on quite quickly.
Thank you!

Turns out the cable was fine. However, the oil was not... Not sure when it was last changed. So far I've "flushed" it four time and it's working much better. Will continue to flush until oil looks good. So glad Yanmar builds engines and transmissions that can take a lot of owner abuse...
Thanks for you input.

Good habit to change trans fluid when you do the oil each year.......
