reverse? i don't thinks so.

FINALLY put the tub in the water! problem number one? yeah, no reverse. when i put in in forward, she fshifts good, and takes off with a vengeance.

when i put her in reverse, she goes forward with a vengeance. needless to say, this made launching and loading an interesting, and rather wet experience.

what does it sound like to you, oh gurus of the alpha one?

probably got the shift slide/roller on the shift fork arm off in the bell housing

pull the drive again and inspect

so, the small square hole in the outdrive...can i see the fork in there?

okay, pulled off the outdrive and all looks well. shift rod is in the fork as it should be...still does the same thing. think the problem may be in the shifter. quiksilver commander. when i hit the "throttle button and move the lever, she goes into gear. the neutral lock bar is very difficult to engage, and reverse gives me forwards. any and all ideas welcome.
