I have touched on this in another thread but now I am able to shift into forward and reverse with no issues with the earmuffs on but when I take it to the landing and the prop is under load I can't get it to shift into reverse gear, just grinds like crazy.

I have an after market shifter that I installed 3 years ago https://www.westmarine.com/buy/seastar-solutions--mt-3-controls--P006_184_001_505?recordNum=2

Could this be my issue? I am trying to remember when the shifting became an issue..

If so, what top mount shifter should I be using?
