Can you post a picture of it? Also what is the number on the inside of the lower unit? Should be by the impeller housing

This is the shifter

This is why it won't shift

Alright, thanks for the info. hopefully I didn't mess it up too bad

Top of screen shows shifting

1994 Force 40 Winter is ending...any day now... We had a warm day and I started to go thru the engine before the season. I shifted it up to full throttle and everything looked good, when I shifted back down it stayed at full throttle. I can shift it down at the console, but will not go back...

How do you usually do that? I took it to a machine shop

Here's a pic of the old dog clutch

You called it. One washer was in the wrong place. Put it back in the correct spot & It is all good now, thank you!

I did not replace any parts, I will go thru it again and check all the washers

When I loosen the two Allen bolts on the prop shaft cover it loosened the prop shaft up again. But the Allen bolts are then loose, not tight at all.

Rebuilt the whole lower unit, shifting well and everything lined up, but feels very tight when I turn the prop by hand. Is that just because there is no oil?

Made a puller with 2 hooks, 2 bolts and a 2x4. Worked great
