There is a snap ring that holds the drive gear on the main shaft, it sometimes slips off. You'll see it when you pull off the tail housing. Be sure to get a new snap ring when you put it back together and don't stretch it to much when reinstalling it. When you put the gear back on you just need to tap in on with a brass punch or similar device.
