I have a 1982 Albin 40 with a 135 hp Ford Noreast diesel (similar to a Lehman) and a Borg Warner 1013 transmission. I have owned the boat since 2005. I have never replaced the damper plate and based on the skills of the previous owner, neither did he. My transmission is working fine but it doesn't get a lot of heavy use because I do most of my cruising here in Nova Scotia just in August and September because of time constraints. My question is, should I proactively pull the tranny and replace the DP even though there is no indication of a problem? Even though I am getting good performance now, is this thing about to turn to dust?
Thanks to all who reply (especially Jay Leonard because I'm sure you've already done this with your boat).
