I have removed the bearing carrier to replace the propeller shaft seal but when I put it back. I always got the forward, could not get in neutral. Today, I remove the carrier again and need an advice how to install it correctly. The piece down inside that make the gear engage or disengage but I forgot the orientation when I remove the shaft. It should be up or turn side way when install the propeller shaft! I attach some pictures that show different orientation of this piece. Which way should be correct orientation?

What happens when you assemble this and turn the shift rod counterclockwise. ?----Requires some effort.------Then you get neutral and reverse.
