    I think I figured it out!
    I was over tightening the nut that goes onto the top of the shift rod.
    When I did this I watched as the shift lever would slightly move from forward toward neutral.
    I backed it off leaving the shift lever in it’s natural forward position then installed the other nut locking the first nut in place.
    Now I have neutral and the little blue motor lives.
    I think?
