[QUOTE="HickInTheSticks, post: 386769, member: 18253"] Shouldn't I be able to shift the lower unit by pushing the bar up and down, tho? I'm not able to do that. Tried to get it in neutral and re-install with motor in netural as well. I can re-assemble with motor and lower both in forward gear (only way the rod lines up in the engine), no problem. But when I try to shift it into neutral, the rod will not go "down" any further into the prop housing. The tiller handle turns everything as its suppose to, and you can see the rod starting to flex as it TRIES to push it down to change the gear. When I disconnect the rod from the motor, I can turn the tiller handle freely and it'll move the rod mount thing as it should. It's definitely getting caught up in the prop housing (gear case, I think?). I suppose the next step is going to be to drain the oil outta the housing and take a look-see and maybe visually get the rod where it needs to be? [/QUOTE]
