won't go into gear

[clarkecars]

I just changed the waterpump on my Mercury 2oo now it won't go into gear. The throttle moves back and forth and it seems the neutral button is needed to rev the engine. When I pull the lever back there's no reverse, it's like it's stuck in neutral.

You need to drop the unit down and shift it into rev. and shift the upper into rev. and then reassemble them, the shift shaft is misaligned
