1973 evinrude starflite 135hp V4 shift rod s***w location?

Question

Hey, just now have the time to work on boat. Got some really good info in here about how to tune. So now i'm trying to replace the impeller. Everything is going accroding to the book but can't locate the shift rod retainer s***w. My book only has a drawing and I can't id the general location. There is a set of access covers located just above the exhaust housing that has two visible mounting screws each that I removed but it's still attached somehow inside. Is the access s***w under those covers? Really all I need is general location and I can find it. Did remove the trim tab and internal screws and have the 4 gearcase to exhaust housing screws loose and ready to remove. The case has been drained and looked ok. Thanks

check on the right side of the lower unit there tou should find a cover about 2in by 1in a s***w in the top and bottom of it that is your rod coupling cover
