The motor works great at low speeds, when you get into the throttle a little farther it seems like the motor makes a clunking noise alomost like you hit a rock or log with the lower unit and then it comes out of it. I took the lower unit apart and it looks fine, any other suggestions are appreciated.

When it comes out of gear, does it stay out or pop back in? If it's popping in and out it could be the clutch dogs in the lower unit. Sometimes they get rounded and will not stay in gear.
