Well I replaced everything and I'm now convinced that I'm never going to get this lower unit back on...I've tried to get it to align for over three hours to no avail. Shift rod height is correct, water tube is going in smoothly but something is preventing it from getting the last 3 inches or so up, it's not the driveshaft because it is just barely touching the crank, splines won't align because I'm not getting it close enough...I'm sure the shift rod is getting hung up its a real nightmare.
Any tips or tricks?
