I just replaced the impeller on my new to me motor. Took the boat to the launch today and she fired up no problem. Had a bit of trouble shifting compared to other boats I have driven. Forward didn't engage as smoothly as what I would consider normal.
The big issue is once in forward gear the motor (I think lower unit) starts to clunk.

What should I check?

Is there a way to make sure I got the gear splines lined up properly when reinstalling the lower unit with the new impeller?

Can I check the shift cables somehow to make sure they're engaging properly?

Thx in advance.
