The motor is fixed displacement. The pump is the only thing that can go to neutral displacement and you're convinced it is swashing.
Is there spring pressure on both blocks when you put the cover back on? When you loosen all the cover bolts, the cover should lift off the case slightly.

The manual shows the motor shaft as a single part, but I did not remove it to inspect it to be sure it's not assembled from two parts somehow. It feels like a single piece--that is, the pinion is not loose on the end of the motor shaft.
I can feel some resistance in the trunnion arm with the drill driving the hydro. The drill speeds up when the trunnion is in "neutral" so I believe it is swashing the pump.
There is spring pressure on both blocks, yes the cover springs up about 3/16 inch. I did not remove the springs from the piston blocks but I looked at them carefully with a flashlight and they appeared in good shape.
