It is the shaft that makes it to go FNR. iT is just under the carb.
NO MANUAL?

If the shift is on the handle.....if your looking at the carb, on the right side of the powerhead near the bottom, you will see a cam. The shift shaft connects to that cam. On the top of the cam there is a screw, remove it and pry the end of the cam off with a flatblade screwdriver. The shift shaft will be free and you can drop the lower unit.
