My forward reverse switch is hard to turn, does anyone know where it needs adjusting at to get it easier to turn?

I am a newbie so take what I say with a grain of salt.....

A stiff shifter could be a bad cable or something in the trans. A quick check would be to pop the cable loose from the "ball pivot" at the trans and see if it still moves hard. Then check the trans lever and see if it shifts hard.

Good idea, I'll check it at the motor and then look at each linkage .

If it's not hard to move with cable off, probably the cable. I had this problem and took cable off and soaked with pb blaster. I set cable upright so the oil would soak down into cable housing. I just kept adding and adding till oil came out of the bottom. Worked it by hand a couple times and that lossened it right up. Hope this helps.

I did the same as PB00 did and it worked for me too. I let mine soak down through overnight a couple years ago. But my cable is getting stiff again so I may be due for another application.
