I have a big problem I replaced the upper unit on my boat and put the orginal lower with the new upper. My problem is I get a very loud clicking or clanging sound coming from the shift shaft in the lower unit it's like it's not engaging all the way. I know the gears in the lower are ok because when it is separated from the upper I can select the gears spin the prop and see the shaft turning. Any ideas guys. Thanks a ton!!!

Also here is a video on YouTube this is exactly what's happening to my boat. I tried to upload it on here but it wouldn't let me😓

You need to try adjusting your lower shift cable. If this doesn't fix the issue then your going to need to replace the lower cable
