"Have a 350 Mercruiser from ab

"Have a 350 Mercruiser from about 1989. When I try going into gear, either the engine stalls or nothing happens for about 30 seconds - then I get a "bang" noise and it engages.

If I try reverse, it will either not go into gear, or just stall.

If I do get into gear, then try going into neutral - it will stall out.

Can anyone help?"
 
It is the shift cable. Just go

It is the shift cable. Just go through the adjustments for the remote and shift cable this will fix the trouble. Just be sure every thing is moving easly (no Binding) and no cracks on shift plate.
 
This is usually an indication

This is usually an indication of the time to change the lower shift cable not just adjust it.
