H 225 stuck in gear

[daduke111]

Please Help, I have a problem with my honda 225 port engine. it is in gear and the cable at the accuator (removed from accuator) will not move forward or back. i tried turning the prop and it does turn with force. i could not find in the manual anything about the shift cables. need diagram to locate shifter on the engine. i didnt hear any grinding ever and the teleflex system accuator works fine. what could be wrong??

Need to disconnect cable from engine and see can shift shift linkage on engine by hand. If not drop the lower unit and see if it shifts.
