If you have the screw (#11) holding the slide (#17) to tight, like it sounds like you do by the description below, Then this may be your problem, That slide need to have a LITTLE BIT of play.
It needs to move on the cable Back and forth a little (in & out) by backing off the screw just a little bit, It also needs to spin freely.
The measurement of play they want is talked about in the service manual.
You may want to double check that by pulling the drive off, Also double check the service manual. Good luck
2) The shift fork (in the bell housing) is tight to the cable with the set screw and safety wire. The end play between the cable and the fork is zero.
X 2can ya shift it by hand from the end of the cable while someone turns the prop outside of the boat? the prop should lock up one way and click the other way?
Not solved.
