I know this topic's been beat to death and I did an extensive search with no results so...I have a 90 150xp that I was pulling the lower unit on <br />got all the bolts out including the shift rod <br />and it still wouldnt budge it just dropped down about 4 inches. I pulled the shift lever out to see if there was a hang up and the clamp where the shift rod bolt was still on the rod and it's kinda wedged at the base of the powerhead. When I lift up the lwr unit the clamp thing just stays there a little loose, but it won't come up enough to see how to remove it. This is my last shot before removing the carbs. I'd appreciate any ideas on how to remove it.<br />thanks <br />steve
