Yeah just went to look at the shifter and cant even figure out how to take it off. It looks like its supposed to have four screws in it, but alas they're not there. so how would i manually shift it into gear (im a noob). also there were no grinding sounds just the "clunk" when it dropped into gear.

go back to teh shift plate on the engien, you will have two shift cables coming together at teh shift plate, one cable is from the shifter at the helm, the otehr goes to the drive. Like DDE said, disconect the shift cable from the shifter at the shift plate(top cable), just need a 7/16 wrench and a pair of needle nose pliers. Have soemone spin the prop counetr clock wise and puch the sfhit cable(the drive one, not the shifter one) in till the prop locks up in gear, then spin the prop the otehr way and pull the cable out till it locks in reverse. If it will lock in both ways, teh shift cable to teh drive is probably OK. Check the cable to teh shifter, it probably has worn thur some where

OK I am really perplexed here after checking out the lever that was ok so once again we tried adjusting the shift cable and EUREKA! we found the sweet spot. Shifted into forward and revers normal. took it back to the house rant it a few times on Sunday to make sure it was still shifting correctly, no problems. SO now time for sea trials prior to hauling her to the ramp, checked on more time no problems engaging forward gear. put her in the water, back her out and guess what no forward. I'm lost. Any Ideas?
