    94' Mercury xri 175hp won't go into gear

    My Merc will not go into gear, either forward or reverse. What should I be looking for? Any thoughts? Thanks.

    Check to make sure the cable end (and shift linkage inside the cowling) is moving when you attempt to shift.

    If you would, please take a moment to review the Announcements at the top of the Forum, and be sure to provide the Required Info when posting. Thanks!
