We just had our front landing gear and gear box replaced down in Little Rock on our way back to Omaha and the gear box was extremely loose and I asked the Tech about it and he told me they have to be somewhat loose but not like ours was because it nearly turned a 180 on the shaft when drive motor moved or tried to move the landing gear down and up. The new gear box that he put on has a metal enclosure and he said they are a whole lot better than the ones that come stock on the Montanas because the housing on the stock gear box is plastic and definitely have problems.
