If lower unit still off, can you manually move shift rod and engage all three positions (F,N,R)? If can, then may just need to have rod position adjusted? If not engaging all three, then my guess is something isn't together correctly inside?
Best I can offer, but visually impaired on this end. Good luck. -
Adjusted midsection rod almost off the rod.Comment

But between the rod adjustment, and cable adjustment, you should be able to move the shift rod a considerable amount, if the lower unit will engage all three positions.
Post back when able. Good luck.Comment

If not getting all three gear positions, then something isn't right in the gear case? Can't give you much help there. If something is worn, those parts need to be replaced. If the clutch/shift dog isn't engaging either the forward, or reverse gear, there has to be a reason, either it's worn, or something isn't assembled correctly?
Good luck.Comment

You can feel all three positions on the bench and mounted dogs not going forward enough to engage.Comment

Then I'm guessing there is a spacer/ thrust washer or something in the wrong place, otherwise the ears on the shift dog or mating ears on the gear are worn. That shift dog has to mate fully into either gear.
It is not easy from my side of the forum to know where your problem is. My suggestion if you aren't familiar enough with these transmissions to find what is wrong, then you need to get it to a qualified mechanic that can help you.
Good luck.Comment
