The 98 wouldn't scare me as long as it's even but I would use it as a bargaining chip I my favor.

I think the 1992 still had the plain steel shift rod. I know the 225HP's did but not sure on the 250's.

Quick check on part numbers shows 61a-44120-21-00 for '92 and 61a-44120-22-00 for '94 so I would think it was steel.

If it hasn't been replaced already then check it out as best you can.
