The victim: 1990 200ETXD. The problem: Broken shift rod. 14 years of saltwater use finally did in my shift rod. The bolts holding the head were frozen but I finally got everything apart by destroying the exhaust guide manifold with a drill and chisel.The control arm is removed, but the lower housing is still attached to the arm. A corroded circlip is still attached to the bottom of the housing. Can I just grind off the clip and push the arm out of the housing, or is it pressed in. Also, in making a list of the parts I need, is there any kind of gasket sealer I should use with the new gaskets?
