1. Test the shaft RPM with a speed gun as mentionned by Surcouf.
2. Look inside the gear box for anything weird.
I am really not an expert on transmission but:
- it seems that your "fingers" correctly "climb" on the collar where they are supposed to go when you are in "forward" (the "forward latch" ). When you put your transmission lever on "forward", these fingers have to "climb" and stay there without you needing to hold the lever forward. My english s*** so go listen to the Boss on you tube. He is very very clearly how this system works

And just to make sure, as already noted: you need to manually hold the handle / lever n the cokpit full reverse so that the shaft turns backward. If you put it back and release it, it will come back to neutral by itself (could that explain the 0 RPM?)

good luck
