88 Force 50 stuck in reverse

I recently rebuilt the lower end unit on a 1988 Force 50. I thought everything went back together fine. I soon discovered that I have no neutral or forward, only reverse.

Problem resolved, I think. When putting the lower unit back together I must not have gotten the shift rod and coupler jaws aligned correctly.

By reading through pages of post's, I found the solution.
