Rick,
      If it's a Lycoming, they recommend to check the prop flange runout on 
any prop strike, and in the accessories case, to magnaflux the drive attach 
bolt commonly called the "Jesus bolt".. A magnaflux job on both the bolt and 
associated gears gives much peace of mind, small $ to do, big job opening the 
case.  Another fix is the gear switch with a detent so you have to pull the 
switch lever out to move it up or down.  Vern has them...   Sorry for your 
misfortune..been there    Don Skeele  A&P 320J
