I had to take the lower leg off to replace the water pump. When I put it back together it now starts in gear. How do I set the shift connector on the lower leg to the right position?

Check out my reply in this old thread, it'll not only help you get your shift shaft re-aligned, but also has tips for a difficult L/U reinstallation. HTH...........ed
