Hello sly......<br /><br />It kinda sounds like the shift switch in the control box is outta adjustment or lose. The switch has an arm with a roller on it that sets in a notch on the control. If the switch is lose, it may take a little more throw of the control handle to shift.

Hey sly.....<br /><br />If a large portion of the gear lube was left out, it could affect the operation of the lower unit. Why not check it and be sure?<br /><br />The alternator or stator is under the flywheel.
