    You called it. One washer was in the wrong place. Put it back in the correct spot & It is all good now, thank you!

    I did not replace any parts, I will go thru it again and check all the washers

    When I loosen the two Allen bolts on the prop shaft cover it loosened the prop shaft up again. But the Allen bolts are then loose, not tight at all.

    Rebuilt the whole lower unit, shifting well and everything lined up, but feels very tight when I turn the prop by hand. Is that just because there is no oil?

    Made a puller with 2 hooks, 2 bolts and a 2x4. Worked great

    It was the clutch dog, getting it machined to square those edges . Thank you everyone for all the advice!

    Thanks Nordin, that's kinda what I was thinking but wasn't sure. I've gone over and checked everything else multiple times. Now just worried about taking it all apart, never done that before. I think forward gear is all the time way in the back, so think I have to take the whole darn thing out.

    when I hold the shift pin down with my thumb it catches every time. When I don't hold it down, the slightest back turn makes it rise ever so slightly and throws it out of gear
