Sorry, I don't have a picture. But yes, there was not enough lateral space along the shaft causing the gears to bind against each other. It was very obvious when we tried to turn the output shaft of the pre-assembled gearboxes that one of them was not right. One was very easy to turn, while the other one was basically locked. When we loosened the screws on the housing the shaft immediately became easy to turn like the other one. When we disassembled it you could see a slight gap between the underside of the bearing flange and the gear. The gap was very small (paper thin) but enough to cause binding on the shaft.
