Alpha Gen 2. More "clunk" then "click" when spinning prop by hand???

Hi Guys,

Long story short, two years ago I shredded the gears in my upper unit.

This past week I managed to finally get around to buying a new one ("new" as in good used) and bolted the new top half to my old lower which we suspected was fine.

I installed the drive last night and when I put it in forward, it locks CCW as it should, but feels like a clunk when spinning the opposite way. Same goes for reverse, locks CW but clunks when I go the opposite way with a tone sort-of different than when spinning the opposite way in FWD.I don't get the ratchet sound that I used to or am supposed to.

I am thinking the shift cable(s) may be out-of-adjustment but want to hear what you guys have to say.

Note: Before I split the two halves, it would not make this sound (clunk).

Thanks guys!

Had mercruiser tech check it out - apparently my idea of clunk is nothing to be concerned about. Thanks
