I have a 270 out drive after having to replace the U joint bellows. When trying to shift into revese it is real stiff but shifts into forward no problem.

i would disconnect the linkage at the back of the drive and move the helm control and verify the control moves freely in each direction.

The cale is only abut 6 months old and after unhooking the cable is shifts just fine.
