I recently replaced the lower unit on my 1984 Johnson 30HP and the shift cable needs adjusting (when I have the throttle in Neutral, it is still in gear). I tried to adjust the cable that is connected to the shift lever on the side of the motor, it is better, but popped into neutral twice while driving in forward gear. What is the best way to adjust?
