I just split a L3300GST to fix a leaking propeller shaft. When I took the dash off, it pulled the shifting lever that goes into the transmission a couple of inches before I realized. After getting it all together, it won’t go into forward and reverse and sometimes it’s inbetween grinding gears. Before I assembled everything I turned the rod sticking out of the transmission and it went into and out of gear as it should. However there is a clamp and a bolt that goes onto the rod that goes into the transmission and it was lose when I turned the rod with channel locks, I loosened it earlier. I tightened it up and put everything back together and now I’m stuck because it won’t shift. I loosened it again and it went into and out of gear but now when that bolt is tightened.
L3300GST shuttle shift lever won’t engage

Little confused as to what bolt and clamp your loosening?
If it's what I'm thinking you have (second picture) number 70 under 40 and not engaged in the slot.

The bolt and clamp is #90 and #100, i didnt know what #90 is called. If 70 isn’t engaged in the slot how do I get it to engage? Do I have to pull it up and turn it until it is the direction?

You have to let it drop a little, turn it 1/4 turn, lift it over shaft turn it back 1/4 turn and engage slot.
I will note this might or might not be able to be done with it assembled.
You're possibly looking at a split again.

I took the bolt out holding the stopper, part #90. I was then able to lift the arm, part #70, up and turn it left or right where it needed to be. After about a minute of messing with it it engaged in the slot and sat nicely where it needed to and shifted properly.
