Lift up on the drive shaft as you turn it, or hold the gear case upside down and turn it. This separates the gears to the proper running clearance. If it still "makes noise," or feels rough or gritty, then yeah, with those gear cases, you could very likely have a problem.
Long live American manufacturing!
