Re: shifting problem

If you're saying you found that pin just laying in there, that's probably the pin that goes in the shift linkage. To disconnect the shift linkage you pull that pin and slide the shift lever out. To reconnect the shift linkage you slide the shift lever in so the shaft goes back in the clevis and put the pin back in the secure it in place. It won't change the direction of shift or prop rotation.

Did the cables get reversed by chance. Disconnect both. Have someone move the throttle lever. The first cable to move is the shift cable.

Re: shifting problem

does anyone have a schematic or blow up of this. i'm not sure where the pin (which looks like a big bobbie pi), goes i don't see a hole for it in cable linkage???
