shifting problem?

[24Baja]

I have a 1987 24' Baja Sport with a 460 OMC King Cobra engine rebuilt with about 140 hours. I am having some problems shifting into forward and reverse gear. Sometimes it will go, sometimes it won't. It seems to be better when i mess with this one gear which is attached to the engine where the shifting cable enters. This seems to make it tighter... Any suggestions?

Sounds like you need the shift cable upgrade.
