Hi I have a 1988 yamaha ft9.9elg that I bought last year, the engine runs great, but when i bought it there was a shifting problem where it would only go into drive. I took it apart and tried replacing the shift rod and had nothing but trouble getting it to do all three gears and at the same time not rip the shift rod boot out of the hole, leaking gear oil into the waters. as you see here there is a plastic bracket with a screw(number 53) that i have but I am not completely sure how its supposed to go in, the screw seems useless along with the bracket itself if its supposed to keep the rubber boot in the hole. Another question i have is i bought this part number "6G8-44150-10-00" but there is also a "6G8-44150-20-00"part number and they both say they'll fit my engine. I have a long shaft motor, and the one i bought seemed to long enough but i am starting to wonder if the second part number is a longer rod and that's why I am having trouble getting all 3 gears because I cant adjust it to do all 3 without loosing the rubber boot? Basically I am just looking for guidance here, I've looked everywhere for the proper way to put the plastic bracket on the rod and in the housing with no avail of finding anything, and is the rod i bought too short, what is the difference between part numbers?
