Jim,
Those gears are different. It has only one ring gear & two pinion gears running the same as the D-shaft. The shift dog moves up & down for shifting & the twp pinion gears have ramped engagements. The teeth are straight cut for more noise. I would pull it down, wash everything super clean & get new bearings for it. They are common bearings too. Check for thrust washer wear too. Be sure your engagement is 100% per manual. I can scan a few gearcase pages for you too. Just send me an email jeff.50@cox.net. & I’ll get them off to you. You take a different prop too so be careful with it as it is rare & spins the other direction.
Jeff
