I just had this problem end of last year. I thought the cable going to the outdrive broke. When I removed the back cap the screw had worked out that operated the rod to the cone clutches. I checked and screw was still all right and threads in rod were still good and not stripped. I install locktite on screw and put back in. Changed fluid and back on the water.
