Id love to get it completely apart, I can tell you that the overdrive gear seems to be OK, but I do see some bluing of what looks like 3rd and 4th gears.
Its tricky, because of its rarity, and also because of less than complete disassembly instructions (I printed the diagram from the EPC), Im super reluctant to use any force to try and get it apart
For instance, its really hard to tell from the EPC how the overdrive gear is removed. If it was anything like the W201 boxes, it should just slide off once the sychro is disassembled, but it looks like it needs to be a puller of slide hammer that will remove it. Its completely different
Originally I was thinking I could replace the bad gears I found with spare parts from several blown 412s and 410s I have, but the overall size of the internal gearset seems to be larger.
