"There should be a noticible bump (or 'clunk') when you put it in gear. Don't try to be gentle... put it in gear smartly.
Reverse will seem smoother due to the design of the gears and the direction the drive gear is turning in relation to the direction the driven gear will be truning, once it makes contact.

Remember there's no clutch!

All that being said, if there is a noticible difference from the way it was before you did the work, it may be worth taking another look at it."
