You need to open the 2 diagrams for the lower unit.
One covers the prop shaft and one the drive shaft.
The parts are on both pages.
​The lower shift rod has a part " arm assy"#18
​The prop shaft has a "shift yoke"#7
​These need to meet when you re-assemble the propshaft into the housing.
It can be a little tricky but after 10-20 tries you'll get it!!
​Or you might get lucky and it works on the first try!!
