Have a 1973 38' Hatteras FBDC with starboard transmission locked in forward. When shifted to reverse, it kills the engine. Suppose it must be removed and rebuilt or replaced. Any suggestions would be appreciated. The troubleshooting guide gives three possible problems ... all sound quite serious.

Bad selector or locked pack. The selector may be serviceable from the top with out pulling the whole clutch.
Is this your boat? History before and when it failed?

What does the fluid smell like? If the fluid is dark and smells burnt the clutch pack is probably stuck together. It will usually start slipping that builds up heat and warps the discs, then it all sticks together. That gear reverses with a brake band that locks the planetary gear causing the rotation to reverse.
