This may help.

The throttle cable attaches to the knob sticking up from the gear in your second photo.. You need the bracket that is forward of the gear. Once again these are just examples and may not be exact to your motor..

As far as I know there is no grease used in the lower unit.

The bar thing is a starter lockout for when throttle is advanced. This is an example and might not be exactly like yours.

Okay sorry when you said you where turning the prop for shifting I thought the problem was when the motor was not running. Give your serial number and maybe someone can help you.

Are you saying it does shift okay while running?

If it shifts well while running then it should be okay.. If not running you need to rotate prop while shifting or risk damaging something inside the gearcase.

I think the full model number with prefix should be 582 60920. That would make it a 1968 model.

The model number 217 59673 is a 1970 5hp made by Eska. I think the power head is probably built by Tecumseh.

Model number posted as 35e77c so a 2 cylinder motor.

No that's the correct one they been using it since 1980. If you don't believe me just ask racerone.. He knows everything. Just disregard where it says 1999 through 2004 models.

I would think 15 or 20 is referring to shaft length.

I bet you will try to tell me they had FICHT technology in 1980 also?

I did look at that page and not once is 1980 written.
