bob and john thanks for the info. bob my seloc
manual said you could remove lower with upper
still on the boat. can you tell me what is still
holding shift rod
 
Well...basically the shift rod

Well...basically the shift rod has a v shaped notch in it sideways that fits over the bellcrank which is what raises and lowers the shift rod. The only way to remove the shift rod from the bellcrank is to pull the drive straight out from the transom. Depending on how hard you have been trying it's possible you may have damaged the shift rod already (hope not). Once you take the drive off you'll see why you can't remove the lower without taking the whole drive off first.
