Recently replaced upper seals in lower unit and not sure the shift rod is exactly at right height when it was replaced. Reverse is no problem but in forward it occasionally pops out of gear and then back in. I can adjust the rod without removing the lower unit. The question is should the rod be shorter or longer to fully engage the shifter? Thanks, Rocket
