Just purchased this motor knowing there could be issues. Got it for a song and dance so i took a gamble. Shift linkage is frozen where it enters the gear case. Lots of corrosion in the void where the linkage rod enters the gear case. So far I've cleaned most of the corrosion out and started soaking it in wd-40 by spraying into the void and letting the puddle sit. Any tips or tricks to freeing it up? Judging by the lower unit oil, the gear case internals should be good (oil was almost black but no metal shavings or milky oil. From what I understand, this motor sat up for a while. Motor runs good, just wont shift due to frozen linkage.
