75 Force- gear mishap ??

[Sea Ark]

Hey all !
I like this board,I found it while trying to dig up info on my motor.
I installed a new impeller this weekend and I have fouled somethign up...It isnt acting like its in gear properly...in neutral it acts like its in gear and I cant find a neutral spot where the prop doesnt eaither click or stop as if its in fwd or reverse.... I got a pretty good idea that there is a cog inside that is not the way its supposed to be for it all to go back together right--- but before I make it worse I am gonna ask..... any help is mor ethat appreciated---- try to do something yourself and fouled it up !

Did you reconnect the shifter rod when you installed the lower unit?

Here is the picture of it on my 1990 Force 90HP.

thanks for reply,,,, I am pretty sure I got it reconected although its not exactly the same at that one...mines internal.It connectes together through a splined link when you reconnect the lower unit...its a bugger to line up and get the splines to mesh together.Similar to an axle assembly.
I cant imagine having to take it to the local boat shop to get them to put it right.....
Oh and mines a 99 75 hp but the rod is in the same area but they put it inside the housing.

Remove the lower unit.
put lower unit in forward.
Put controls in forward.
Install lower unit.
