What is the best or simple method to adjust the shift linkage, Johnson 1976, 85 HP, 85EL76? Once the coupler is disconnected to replace an impeller, what is the best or simplest method to reinstall to easily get reverse, neutral and forward? Is it a centering progress? I hope I am using the right terminology, ?Centering?, related to a friend?s motor vs mine.

I asked him if he wanted to ask a Tech questions related to the adjustment what would they be? His reply vs my questions above: ?what is the over all length of the shift rod, including the shift rod connector? I think If can adjust the shift rod connector to the proper length, then use the knob to adjust the gears."

Any Pics attachments and any related info will be appreciated. Thanks In Advance! jow
