40 hp big twin linkage removal to replace impeller

[Rickmassie01]

I have found a couple conversations similar to my issue But was unable to get the information that I need edit I have removed all of the lower drive bolts and it will drop down about a 1/2 inch but it feels like it's still connected to the shift linkage I have not been able to find what needs to be removed to release it.

Look for an access plate about half way down on the midsection. Remove that and you will find another one inside. Remove that one and you will find the shift rod connector inside. Completely remove the lower bolt from the connector.
