    Default Johnson Lower unit

    Just replaced water pump in my 1978 Johnson 115hp lower unit and now it will not shift into reverse and will go into forward just barely.

    Did everything go back up easily ??? is the linkage connected correctly ??? did the shift rod get bent in the re-installation ?? is the shifting action "stiff"
    Basic questions to begin with. Others will be along with more.
