T37C, Westerbeke 50. Shifting from reverse to neutral has always
been a bit harder
than from forward to neutral (engine running). Lately the R to N has
been Very hard
to do. Transmission was changed. Problem remains. Shifting is very
smooth when
engine is not running. Has anyone had this problem? Cure?

Another possible cause for the shifting problem could be that somthing in your drive train is binding: alignment? over tightened stuffing box? cutless bearing? line wrapped around shaft at the prop? I think you could determine source with a quick visit down the lazarette and see if you can shift it easily at the transmission, or if you can easily turn the shaft by hand. Should help you locate the issue.

Did the major shifting problem happen with the transmission change?
