Ok, not my first rodeo with a water pump. Also needed skag repair, so i pulled the prop shaft and carrier assemble. Now, after re-assembly, the shifter will not align! Tried nuetral, forward, reverse, etc. It appears that the splined shifter shaft in the lower/u is not indexing properly. I can find F/N/R just fine on the LU, but as soon as i slide it together it wants to either jump ahead to F or back to R. I have searched the sight, but didnt see specifics to a tiller. There was no apparent wear on the gears, etc. Anyone have any ideas?
