I just replaced my impeller and when I went out today I had a hard time keeping it in forward gear. Did not adjust shift linkage during removal of lower unit. Do I need to.

You may need to readjust the barrel swivel at the top of the shift rod; it needs to be turned out no more than two turns from lightly seated, with the offset facing forward.
