I was at a friends to help him replace the impeller. We got the lower unit split form the mid section but the shifter is still connected and for the life of me I couldn't not figure out WHERE its still connected. i did a google search for the parts list and a you tube search for a how to....A few videos showa nut on the starbord side inside the split of the two shafts, other videos show a threaded shifter rod that needs to be disconnected.... im not there now to look but he sent pictures after the fact and I dont see anything! Any help would be greatly appreciated
