Question 1987 Mercury 150 XR2 Stays in Neutral after replacing impeller.

I replaced my impeller and I have obviously made an error. No forward or reverse...just neutral. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,

No F or R seems a little weird. I would drop the LU and see if you can shift it into gear by hand. If you can get a gear then reinstall it in F gear and see if it works.

I did this before, it may be that the shift linkage did not slip into the lower shift shaft. this must be aligned before bolting up. Hope this helps
