Been posting a few notes here and there on this PROJECT of mine. Finally got this motor running very well. However, the thing will not engage the gearbox. Linkage is fine, shift is fine. I took apart the split gearcase housing to see if the shift cradle had come apart, it had and I fixed it. IT STILL will not engage gears. This motor has been in an accident. The body panels are uneven and there is a chunk of the cav plate missing. Would this maybe have an effect on the driveshaft? any other problems or places I may be missing. Thanks for any help.
