My forward pops out or 1 time wouldn't go in forward at all. Pops out meaning it might do it once in while or a bunch. Might be when pulling tubers it does it more not sure.
When it wouldn't go in forward, reversed it to dock. A week or 2 later went to get out of lake and it went in forward and got it on the trailer no problem.
i seen an '84 motor cheap with starting issues and wonder if that lower will bolt right up to my '89?
thanks for any tips
 
Welcome.
If the shaft's the same length it should work.
They made a 20 and a 25in. shaft.
Try lubing where the shift rod goes through the bushing in the top of the drive.
Try shifting with the shift cable unhooked?
