833 Gear Pitting... Help!

I’m with RRR. Get a good used reverse gear and 3-4 slider or new if you can’t find them used. I’d glass bead the rest of the gears and send it.

When I was breaking gear boxes every weekend I used gears worse than that. Just make sure they are clean so none of the ruse and scale ends up in the box.

It will be fine.

Yeah because he just said he's spent 400 on a shifter......no tellin how deep he is with the rest. You just don't want that pitted reverse gear breaking a tooth off and ruining the whole show when you couldda got a good or new one for cheap. And the shift ring, those see some stress. It could easily get a crack in one of those pits.....that's not a production you want comin to your theater. So while you have it OUT where you can fix it, I would do it. I agree though, blast "the rest" and run it. As a whole, it's not that bad and if you do it right, it will make a nice transmission.
