"I'd guess on that motor the linkage is under the carbs...

*edit* sorry, was looking at pic not stated motor... I THINK that one has the linkage under the water inlet screens... Remove the screens and the shift linkage is under there... Two half-inch wrenches... Unscrew the linkage and then shift into forward... Should be able to remove the plastic retainer and top coupler section. (make sure you remove the top section or else the shift linkage won't slide through the water pump."

That has free spare part lists and exploded diagrams of the most.
Quite a nice place to visit before making guesses that then turns out to be totally wrong.
The shift shaft coupling is between the water intake screens in the lower unit.
Take down the screens, unscrew the counter nuts, push UP the upper nut (66) and remove the plastic keeper (71), ten You may get down the gear case.

"Sometimes it is nescessary to scrape the paint
off the rod before loosening the coupler nuts.
Slide the top nut up the shaft a bit,then pry
the little black plastic sleeve off-it is split
on one side. Good luck."
