Locate the cable`s at the control box ,if there is one ,that`s the throttle.
No shift cable= electric shift
2 cables= cable shift

Do you know the year of the drive? Up to 1977 they were electric shift. '78 to (?) were hydro-mechanical and full mechanical after that until they switched to the Cobras.
