Remove the cover on the stbd side of the exhaust hsg. Move your shift lever and see if the shift rod moves. If it doesn't you have probs up in the power head. if it does you have probs in the g/c.

You may also want to check that the shift lever is bolted down tightly to the shifting rocker mechanism.
