New to me used alpha 1 gen 2 that has the shift shaft facing rear wards instead of forward. When I removed my broken lower end I made sure to be in forward gear and everything went smoothly for removal. I'm new to these lower units and have researched a bunch of different resources. I'm wondering could the previous owner rebuilt it incorrectly or am I just missing how to get the shift shaft to face forward? We've ordered a couplet new lower unit, but found this locals to use until the new one arrives. Attached pictures of my original and the new to help describe it better. Thank you in and advanced for everyone's input.

Guess I've only research and haven't commented much on here since 2010. Hopefully counts as number two so I can post pictures. Sorry
