    Fear I am not understanding your issue.. You first mention having good engagement in both gears, but still being in reverse when shifted from reverse to neutral… This issue can be resolved by adjusting the fine adjustment on the shift handle as described in the manual…
    Your latest post seems to indicate that the shift handle does not have enough “throw” to engage both gears. This issue can be caused by lost motion in the shift lever/bellcrank, loose/improperly installed shift rod connector, or internal gearcase problems…
    I am probably misreading what you have written….D
