I own a 84 OMC 3.8 that appears to have stern drive problem getting into gear. Cruising along and acted like it went into neutral. Ball gears turn but I hear a knocking in the stern drive. Removed shift cable and manually shifted the converter box but still would not engage. No metal shavings in the oil. Not sure if it is a upper or lower gear case problem. Have a manual but need help in identifing the problem.
