[QUOTE="Silent, post: 541989, member: 4841"] Yup. With flat cut gears, as things wear they tend to push apart from the extreme pressure the gear dogs encounter. By undercutting the gears, they don't go in and out quite as smooth (wich is why they use straight dogs to begin with) but once engaged, they pull together tighter under preasure instead of tending to push part. There wasn't a great amount of material removed, and I'm quite confedent there is a lot more material than is needed for the application. This is something they use to do decades ago to fix the same problem in other manual transmissions. [/QUOTE]
