Hello,

Let start by saying that this is a great site. The problem that I caused is on my 86 30 Mariner/Yamaha. I was running the engine on the hose in neutral at about 1500-1800 rpms and it jumped into gear(due to linkage not being properly adjusted), then I try to put back in natural but put in reverse while at the same rmp (all in about 3 seconds) shut the engine off now it is stuck in forward gear. I removed the lower unit and pushed and pull shift rod up and down it feels like it is moving but it will not go in neutral or reverse, it is not locked up just wont come out of forward gear. How much damage have I caused?

Thanks
Shawn
