Could be, I'm having an outboard mechanic I've used in the past help me out. I'm pretty sure something is out of place because it was working fine before I messed with it. Thanks
Thanks to all for the input, for clarification the motor is a 1980 8 hp Evinrude. I believe the shift cam is out of position, I will check it out and let you know what we find, thanks.
Sorry not sure about the clutch dog. Is it located in the lower gear box? I disassembled the lower unit by mistake, I thought it was put back together properly but since it stays in forward and the shift lever has no effect on it.
