Reply To: Shift Lever Removal

[Don]

Are you sure the screw came out whole, and that there is not a piece broken off still in place? If the screw is removed completely, just use a few small screwdrivers to gently pry the shift lever loose from the shift handle/shaft…
Post pictures of what you have if there is still issues…
While that powerhead is off, please be sure to check all the lower crankshaft seal components that should be in place in the driveshaft…These pieces are often omitted/mixed up, which will result in premature powerhead damage from water intrusion…
