  1. your shift mechanism is in the lower unit of a cobra . to remove the upper gear you have to have the outdrive off .There are 4 bolts to remove behind the universal joints . once their removed the horizontal upper gear along with the upper drive shaft and universals will come out as one unit, beyond the gear is a smaller shaft that sticks out that turns the water pump. You may want to have a mechanic replace it as the shims need to be correct for the gears  to mesh right .
