    Of course a gearcase needs to be checked before put into service but, the thing is, just because it turns and shifts by hand on the bench doesn’t mean it will function properly when the torque of the engine and prop is applied. That was the case with my situation, so I have to cut this mechanic a little slack. Especially if he only had the gearcase.
