So after replacing the impeller kit and putting the lower unit back on, I can't get it out of gear. It's stuck in forward. With the Lower Unit installed, the prop turns when the motor turns, but it won't shift out of gear. When I take off the lower unit the prop spins fine (turning the prop turns the vertical shaft). Also with the lower unit off I can shift the shifter just fine. Only problem comes when everything is connected and the lower unit is reinstalled.
Help! Please tell me this is something that can be fixed without buying a whole new lower unit.
