Here’s something easy to try.
remove the bolt out of the lever and the shift cam, you can use that same bolt and thread it into
the shift shaft at the top and pull out the shift shaft and shift fork, put the top cap back on.
You can look over the cam and check it for wear too.
you should be able to see the shift cone groove(where the fork rides) you should be able to pry it
either up down, once you start moving it, the garter springs inside will snap it either up or down.
when it is in the top gear, rotate the propshaft CCW, it should spin, try to rotate it
clockwise, it should lock up with very little amount of rotation and not turn
move the cone to the bottom gear, the propshaft should spin when turning clockwise and lock up
when turning CCW.
If it locks up one way and rotates the opposite way, the clutch is doing
what it’s suppose to do…..it would point back to a cable/ adjustment
or a shift fork issue.
when you put the shift fork back in, the nuts face down.
To get at the cone, you have to
have the drive off, the input shaft/pinion gear out of the case, the shift fork out, then then you can remove the driven gear cluster, after its out,
stand it up on the splined end of the clutch shaft, push down on the top gear hard enough to compress the garter springs, the gear should move down, then you can tap the collar on the clutch shaft down and remove the 2 keepers, then the collar will come off, the upper gear, then the top garter spring and then the shift cone.

Well, throw the donkey ears on me eeee haaa. So the bolt backed out and locked drive cam in forward, as I attempted to shift to rev. it broke the plastic upper cable bracket and split the lower shift cable casing, forcing the inner cable out the side. Since forward is "pull" it would suck the inner cable back in the casing and pull on the shift arm allowing for forward and enough movement to push into neutral, but not all the way into reverse. Since the original issue was the bolt , I was searching in that area for the problem. When the rear cover was off, there was less pressure on the shift arm(no detent), so it went into rev. I pulled the drive this morning to inspect the little claw thing , and noticed the cable did not feel right. pulled the access panel on the extension box and followed the cable up through the transom. I found this,
Thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it.

After just reading the prior post, I’m thinking it’s got to be a cable issue,
glad you found it…. having boxes make it a bit easier routing the cable to the drive rather than having to lay on top of the engine and try to get it through.
