Not sure what you mean when you say “loosened the shift rod clip”. The lower unit shift rod connection is just behind the water pump and you have to remove the bolt so the lower unit will come off. There is no clip to undo. You can access the connection when you lower the lower unit enough to see the connection inside of the cavity behind the water pump housing.

See parts #50, 51 and 52.

And loosening one of the bolts in the shift rod coupler won’t do – you have to completely remove it.

BY clip I did mean shift rod linkage above the water pump but I disconnected only the bottom screw to near… fall out
I will take out both screws completely and retry
