Check your prop! It could be spun. Put engine in gear and see if you can turn the prop. If you can, it has spun off the rubber centre.

If the engine turns over when turning prop by hand your prop is OK.. Next check and see if your linkage is set correct. Take cowl off, and put in gear make sure your linkage travels the proper distance. If that is correct you have a problem in your trans. worn gears or yoke.

Turning the prop with your hand, will show you nothing.
Your hands can not possibly exert the amount of force that the engine exerts on the prop when underway.

IF your prop hub is spun, when it feels like neutral, the engine will rev higher.
IF the linkage is in need of adjustment, the lower unit will make a clunking noise when it engages/disengages.
