Looking for MS2B-L Reverse Gear
Hi everyone,
I have managed destroy my current reverse gear for my Volvo Penta 2001. I am looking above and beyond for a replacement.
It needs to be a Volvo Penta MS2B-L model. L stands for Level output shaft. The gear ratio is 2,3. See attached photos.
Does anyone have this laying in their shed, or know if someone might?
Thank you!

I think the engine is mounted with a slight angle do meet the angle of the shaft, not entirely sure. But I am certain it is the L model.
In this diagram you can see the typical MS2B model (or A for angled), next to the L model.

Re: Looking for MS2B-L Reverse Gear
That's an interesting document, do you have a link to the whole document?
I have the VP 2003 with the MS2B - A, which means the engine is level. Could you fit an A box and level the engine up on the engine mounts or brackets? It would give you a great choice of gearboxes.
There are a couple for sale in the UK on E Bay but for collection. You might contact the vendor to see if they would post it aboard via courier.

Yes I might need to re-align the engine to fit an angled gearbox, as they seem to be the only ones I can find.
Here is the link to the gearbox diagram: http://fybmarine.co.uk/pdf/Gearbox-o...ntity-type.pdf
Thanks!

Think Kasper is only after the output shaft but sadly marked as sold.
