What would happen if you put the clutch dog on backwards?

It's a 1989 Force 125. I put everything back together and now I'm having trouble shifting gears. I have to rotate the prop by hand before it will go into gear freely. Just wondering if I put the clutch dog back on the wrong way and if it would cause that problem.

Re: Clutch dog?

I will make an assumption that the clutch dog is reversable...so that leaves the shift linkage...could've gotten out of adjustment...you always need to rotate the prop to get the dog engaged when it aint runnin...
