"Colby,

Before replacing the lower, make sure the unit is shifting in and out of gear properly. Put the unit and the remote into neutral. Look at the splines on the lower shift shaft and then look into the mid-section and see if the splines on the upper shift shaft are orientated exactly the same as those on the lower shaft. If not adjust the shift cable so that the splines line up properly. Sometimes the cable is slightly out of adjustment, but the gearcase still shifts normally, but when you take the lower off and then try to replace it you can have this problem.
