## Discrepancy

AGC, AIRCRAFT DEPARTED, UPON RETRACTION, FLIGHT CREW NOTICED GEAR OPERATION SOUNDED SLUGGISH.  APPROX HALF WAY UP ON RETRACTION, THE GEAR STOPPED FOR A SECOND OR SO, THEN CONTINUED TO RETRACT.  PILOTS NOTICED A RED LIGHT IN THE GEAR HANDLE.  CREW SELECTED GEAR DOWN, GOT 3 GREEN LIGHTS AND LANDED ACFT BACK AT AGC.  AFTER JACKING ACFT IN HANGAR, RETRACTED GEAR 24 TIMES WITHOUT FAILURE.  REPLACED GEAR MOTOR.  THERE WAS A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE IN THE SPEED OF THE NEW GEAR MOTOR.  NO EVIDENCE OF MECHANICAL BINDING IN SYSTEM.  FAILED MOTOR WAS O/H.  (X)
