    New lower shift cable

    Right. But it's like the cable ain't long enough. I this is the second one I'll be putting on thinkin first one was wrong. But obviously something messed up. Is it possible to adjust all cables without putting drive back on?

    New lower shift cable

    One thing I do know is the guide sleeve is not all the way in. Because I can't get down to my 6" if I do. So I have to leave it out bout 1/2" then Tighten jam nut.

In forward gear, prop locked (ccw) cable shoved in all the way into the tube and I can't get the 6" closest I get Is 6-3/4". Is something screwed up down below? With cable shoved all the way in I only...
