Default What year for Yam stainless shift shaft?

Title says it all. What year did they go to the stainless shift shaft?

Thanks,

I'm thinking it was '92 Air. Could be '91, but I think I'm right with my first guess.

I think you got to pull the engine apart to do it. Also Yammi did a steel switch before they even went to a stainless due to corrosion problems and I think that was earlier than 91-92. Mine is a 92 and I believe it is stainless though not sure

94 or 95 is when they went to it. I have a 93 250 parts motor that definately does NOT have the stainless shaft in it. And yes the powerhead MUST come off to do it. MONKEYBUTLER has a post about replacing his and all of the fun he's been through with it.

I know I have heard of '92 150's with shift problems. I'm in the middle of doing this job on my '86 220HP. Here's a link...
