I recently discovered that my 1987 Nissan outboard (NS8B) no longer runs in reverse. Pushing the shifter back into the reverse position has the same effect as if it were in neutral. I've pulled the engine out and examined the shift rod and it pushes down properly but the prop spins free.

Before I start monkeying around in the gear box I thought I'd post a note here to see if anyone has any ideas on what to look for?
 
You will have to take the prop

You will have to take the prop shaft housing out and look at the clutch and reverse gear.
