I have a 357ha (1971 I think) that recently developed a shifting problem. It has been fine for the year or so that i've had it, and out of nowhere the thing will barely shift into forward gear (before the throttle kicks in). Reverse was fine. I've been working on it for about 2 days now, and I can get it to where it shifts into either gear fine, but not the other. I have adjusted both the rod that comes from the control handle, and the shift rod that runs down into the lower unit. There really isn't a point where forward and reverse will BOTH shift like they're supposed to. I did remove the lower unit the other day, but I couldn't seem to get into the bottom of the lower unit (where the gears are housed). I wasn't sure of exactly how to get it off so I left it alone.<br />Is there some secret method to getting all of the adjustments like they're supposed to be? Could it be something in the lower unit that I couldn't see? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
