The shift system is different than what most are used to.-------------------Just take the bearing housing out the back and inspect the internals.--------------------When I looked at the first one Of those I said -------" what is this " then after looking at the parts it was an easy fix.--------------------Drive balls are broken I think.

I had a 6 HP 89' with the same trouble. Drive balls were sheared.
It may be difficult to get the prop shaft out.
I put a screwdriver through the hole in the prop shaft and hammered in the stern direction.
Once you get it out it was an easy fix. I resealed everything. There was no other damage.
