    I was stuck in reverse once. The cable had come off under the cowling when I switched gears.

    If the control/cables are functioning, and the cable is connected, possibilities would include (but are not necessarily limited to) failures in the:

    -Shift Shaft/Linkages
    -Shift follower
    -Clutch Dog or Crosspin
    -Forward Gear/Bearing
    -Propshaft/Bearings
