All transmissions or gear case’s should shift and turn properly on the bench before you ever put them into service. When I was a young dog I had an immense problem with a heavy foot! Three speed or four speed mixers just would not hold up. I could take’em apart and put’em back together just not quite right. The old dog came by and to check on me, showed me how to turn the drive shaft on the bench move the gears. Worked perfect if it was put together right. If it wasn’t the old guy would say "RTFM dummy! Do it again!" I remember that like it was yesterday! (read the f-=* manual) good advice for whatever you are working on!
