Don't have pictures or detailed instructions. On my 95 - 40 HP Johnson the disconnect is right under the bottom carb. Had to remove a few parts just to see it and it was a pita to get at. Best of luck. Rick.

It's easiest to remove the pan under the powerhead when trying to access the shift rod pin. The rest of the bolts are in plain view.
