ok, so i have a v6 omc, 1989. the drive wont go into reverse without man handlng it and sometimes not even then. the ESA assembly gets stuck in interrupt because of the tension i am putting on it.
now, ive pulled the drive, checked the cables they are fine, shifts smooth with no drive in place. i've set and adjusted the cable wth the necessary tools to shop manual specs. i have tried to physically put the drive into reverse by hand and it is stuck. neutral and forward are fine. what is it in the drive that would cause it to not go into reverse all of a sudden.
fuid level is good and clean.
