recently had the prop shaft staightened on my motor. After replacing the seals and O rings I put the hub back in and am pretty sure i put everything back the same. I snapped the shift rod mechanism into the keeper and it moves up and down. The prop shaft moves back and forth slightly when moving the shift rod. I dont get it. Does it have to be bolted up to go into gear? Now that I knocked the hub back in I gotta take it to the shop to get it pulled for $27. I really thought i had everything right

Re: No forward or reverse J48

As you move the shift rod up and down are you turning the propshaft slightly?
