2004 GTX Reverse Problem
The reverse on my seadoo isn't fully working. I can pull the lever to put it in reverse; however, when I put the lever back into forward, it stays in reverse. It works out of the water only. I found where the problem appears to be coming from. The cable connecting the the lever to the bucket had a part come disconnected from the hull. I have tried to screw it back in with no success. I'm not sure if I need to take the pump off, or how to fix it. Just seeing if anyone has had a problem like this, or knows if it can be fixed without bring it in to get service.

It appears the insert has broken off. There is plenty of write-ups pertaining to this issue. I replaced both of mines (reverse and steering) with aluminum fittings.

I've heard of this problem, but never actually saw a post until now. I replaced my steering insert with an aluminum, but thought I was being over-cautious. I highly recommend replacing it with an aluminum one instead of the stock Sea-Doo one.

Yep, broken cable nut. The ones I've fixed have been sitting in the water at slips. I would guess the long term water exposure rots the plastic.

I have struggled to get the old threads out. I tried with a flat head screw driver and didn't have much success.
Also, how do you disconnect the rod from the reverse cable?

The intermediate housing will probably take more like 10 pumps. Do it nice...
