Mercruiser 3.0 throttle cable and upper shift cable

[Fireman115]

So last year I put a new to me motor (mercruiser 3.0 LX) in my boat as the block was cracked. I replaced all bellows boots cables gimbal everything. Now when I shift from reverse to neutral or forward the boat stalls, unless I shift really fast and I know that not good for it. What I'm wondering is the throttle cable and the shift cable the same? And are they the same length? I was thinking they were the same and same length because they basically go to the same spot to the motor. Also will this solve my stalling issue? If not what am I doing wrong or what do I need to do to fix this? Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
