Default Stern Drive Gearing Problem. Constant Forward Power. HELP!

I just dropped the lower unit of my Alfa 1 stern drive on a 1990
Bayliner Capri 22 and followed all the instructions to change a bad
impellor, left the throttle in forward. Then when I put it back
together the throttle would not go to reverse. Called a local boat
shop and they told me the shift spline was prob one tooth off and to
drop it again and turn it one tooth. Did that and throttle worked
fine. Started the boat out of the water and now the prop turns
clockwise no matter what position the throttle is in. Slower in
neutral, faster in forward and reverse. I can hand turn the prop
clockwise and it clicks in that direction but now counter clockwise.
What gives?? Thanks!
