[QUOTE="Ol'89r, post: 1395682, member: 17212"] You do not have to automatically replace the gears too. Just inspect them. Check the shift dogs. They are the little square looking dogs that come off of the side of the gears and engage with the other gears. If the edges of the dogs are worn at an angle or rounded off on the ends, then you should replace them. If they are still square and sharp, you shouldn't have to replace them. Worn dogs can force the gears apart. This is what wears and bends shift forks. You can check your shift fork shaft by rolling it on a piece of glass. If it is bent it will be obvious. Also, if you broke a gear, you should carefully inspect every tooth on every gear for damage. Make sure there are no nicks in the tooth surface and no cracks at the base of the teeth. Sometimes the broken tooth can get inbetween other gears and damage them too. Use a magnifying glass to check for cracks in the gears. If you are unsure about the condition of your gears and related parts, take them into a shop and have them inspected. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
