I have a 1977 Evinrude 9.9 and I replaced the impeller, and now I am having problems reconnecting the lower unit. After I connect the gear shifting rod, and finish bolting the lower unit together, I only get forward and neutral, no reverse. Anyone know if there is a trick to making the connection so I have FNR. I am not a mechanic, and I am having problems, and I am in need of some help, please. I do not have a manual, but I have ordered one.
