I am trying to put the outdrive back on after replacing the lower and upper shift shafts. The lower shift shaft is hitting the bottom of the bell housing, as if it is sticking up too far. Tried to tap it down into the lower unit but it does not move. Any ideas how to get it to clear the bell housing?
Thanks.

Is the washer holding it onto lower in right location ? Take a pic of what you have going on.
