I'm having a problem shifting into gear on our Mercruiser Alpha I Gen II. I originally thought it was the plastic bushing inside the remote because because it was cracked. But replacing that didn't seem to help. Any other ideas on what would make shifting so stiff?

Re: Stiff shifting

Ouch...neither option appears to be an easy or cheap fix. :mad::(
