well I tried putting it in rev

"My service manual for my 140

"My service manual for my 140 Suzuki (DF 140) says to shift into neutral, remove the trim tab and the bolt under it (7 bolts total). Before you separate the gearcase too far, remove the speedometer pick up tube. "If necessary remove the clutch rod from the clutch shaft."

I would call the "clutch rod" the shift rod. It looks like there is a splined shift shaft sticking up about one inch above the lower unit. The coupling it fits into can be seen below the lower rubber mounts. It is possible that this splined shaft could stick in the coupling, but my guess is that you did not remove the bolt under the trim tab."
 
I have removed the bolts under

I have removed the bolts under the trim tab.There were 2 so all together I have removed 8 bolts.
 
I talked with Johnson tech sup

I talked with Johnson tech support they said the splines have fallen in love and are stuck together.lol.
