I read the sticky and it did not answer my question.
I have a 60hp 2005 Mercury Bigfoot 60ELPTEFI serial number 1B211471. I removed the lower unit to replace the water pump. A two inch plastic tube/guide fell out before I could examine its position. I believe it is a guide for the shift shaft connection that is located at the lower unit. The tube has a tapered end and a non tapered end. My question is which end goes up? The tapered end seems to guide one end of the shaft into the other end.
Additionally, there is a plastic washer/bushing. Again, it fell off before I could examine where it goes. Should this sit on the bottom shaft?
Thank you,
Jason
