Shift problem after impeller change ,1992 Pro60 Tiller

[fenwick]

I just got my motor back from the dealer after they changed the impeller.My problem is when I put the gear shift in forward and turn the prop by hand,(clockwise) I just get a clicking sound.It's seems as if it is not fully engaging.When I put it in neutral the prop spins freely both ways as it should.When I put it in reverse it engages and it stays in gear when I turn the prop by hand.Is there something I could adjust by dropping the lower unit myself? I'm fairly handy with a wrench and would like to avoid go back to the dealer.The reason I say that is because the marine dealer is a 3 hour round trip.Any advice would be much appreciated!! P.S.The shifting worked fine before the impeller was changed.

in fwd it will ratchet if you turn the prop clockwise but should lock if you attempt counter clockwise.
