    I have not tried assembling and rotating the prop shaft without the pinion in place.  I remember replacing the forward gear because the clutch dog and forward gear notches were worn out and the unit would no longer function in forward gear.  Am probably still running on the old reverse gear.   I used electrolysis in an attempt to save some of these parts.  I did get a new clutch dog and installed it.  I’ll try removing the pinion and see how things move.
