I have a 30 HP Evinrude (1990?) that I have removed the 4 screws and front nut from the lower unit and it slides down 1/4". I am missing the drive shaft removal step (and can't find that detail in my clymer manual).

shift linkage under the carb. can get at it with a 1/4 inch drive and univerals joint. if you got that, remove plugs, and jiggle the flywheel.

I think that is one of the ones with the disconnect behind the water intake screen.

If so, put in forward, take the water intake cover off, "hold the lower connector with a 1/2" open end wrench and turn the upper connector with a second wrench. When the shift rod disconnects,' [carefully] 'remove and keep the plastic keeper between the connectors."

Quote is from Clymer manual, B732, page 236.

The plastic keeper has a up, and down way to go as it is tapered, put it back as found.
