1976 merc shift trouble

[Davidmerc140]

Hello Forum,
I am working on a shift problem, I was able to move shiftshaft and pop into gear while replacing impellar.My cables are not froze and pulleys move, but will not transfer to shiftshaft. Wondering if this hydraulic cylinder above the pulleys has anything to do with shifting? The wires have been disconnected and I think it could be part of my problem. Tried reconnecting and grounded out (oops) no mention of this item in seloc repair manual have pics tring to post.
