Not unless you really did some screwing on the shift rod when you took it off or replaced it. A simple adjustment of the shift cable should do the trick. It's just a matter of finding true neutral with the linkage.

the shift rod should not have an adjustment but the linkage will. it may be the grease in the shift arm is just cold and not allowing it to fully engage. get some synthetic grease and grease every fitting on the enging and it will help when its cold. my 82 175 johnson had that same problem and the grease change helped. make sure too that the linkage is adjusted right.
