My problem is it won't go in to reverse. I tried to adjust the linkage and it still doesn't work. we took the lower unit off and pulled the shifting rod by hand and it goes into gear, when i mount the lower unit back on the shifting rod doesn't not come up high enough to go in reverse. The pin that slides in to the shifting rod right under the carb hits the bottom of the carb not allowing it to come up high enough to shift all the way. Any Ideas????

how about a little more info/history? how long have you owned motor did it ever work? I own a 75dt suzuki, I have had lower end off mine.I have owners manual so i can post pics. does it look like it moves all the wat when shifted to forward? does it appear to be in middle of travel when in neutral?
