In theory you shouldn’t be able to shift it ‘out of zone’ unless the shift limiter is also missing. But assuming you did, turning the shift handle to neutral is supposed to catch a tab on the shift adapter. So either the tab broke off or the spring in the shift adapter mechanism broke. You’d need to take the powerhead off to check it out. I might just leave it alone and pretend I’m running an old Merc..
Either way, consider yourself lucky the default is ‘forward’, it could be neutral lol.
Your motor is a "72-’74, it says here.
