Question on sure grip parts

I'll be stopping to look at it tomorrow. Maybe take a pic and post it. I haven't had any luck finding a replacement gear yet. I bought a spool just in case I cant find a gear but I'd rather not run that on the street. I'm not sure how a spool is going to act on the street I have never used or ridden in a car with one in. Guess I might find out!!

I agree with AJ as long as the chip isn't in a particularly critical area.
Also, technically all 4 gears and their thrust washers (pinion and sides)should be replaced at the same time as well as a new pin for it to actually be done right.
That said, there's a damn good chance I would run the chip.:D
