outboard is clunking when over 1/2 throttle, from what I've read the gear shift linkage needs adjustment. Can I adjust any thru the small cover plate on side halfway up shaft ? Or do I have to drop the gear unit and adjust it down there?

There is NO ADJUSTMENT feature on the shift rod connector at the oval plate.----No adjustment there.----There is adjustment at the shift lever.---And is this motor a secret ?----Model # is ?

Adjustment is at the shift lever.-----But if it has been jumping for a while you might be in for an expensive surprise.-----Clutch dog and forward gear.----Your location ?-----No adjustment inside the gearcase either.-----I would be taking the lower unit apart for a look..
