I hate to second-guess a mechanic that has the advantage of actually seeing the motor. But I'd suspect a catastrophic gear failure or a simple spun prop hub before a shift shaft problem. Is this a Suzuki (which I know little to nothing about) or a Yamaha?
when going down the river in forward hit a stump now motor runs good but won'tgo in forward or reverse sounds like linkage isn't connented or something
what do you think may have happend thank you very much
disconnect the shift cable
try shifting by hand
sounds like u need to pull lower unit
i would opt for a new complete lower unit
if the shops rebuild it, i would be wary
