Ok Got a new Lower Unit for my Johnson 60 horse and tried putting it together. and well can not get the shift Rod connected. There is a hole at the end of the rod. Is there supposed to be a pin in there. I do not remember when I pulled the old one. Was searching the boards and net fgor some help and to no avvail found nothing. Somebody provide some sort of suggestion. Thanks you much. :confused: :confused: :confused:

Re: Connecting Shift Linkage

Don't know your motor but most have a yoke at the base of the carb and the shift rod goes between the forks of the yoke. A threaded bolt with a slot for a screwdriver in the head connects the rod & yoke.
