NV4500 gear question (not fifth!)
I have my NV4500 apart (first manual I have taken apart) and am just poking around making sure everything looks OK before I put it back together. I noticed the 3rd and 4th main gears have a few small chips on some of the teeth. If your looking at the gear teeth with grooves going left-right, the small chips are on the left or right ends of the contact surface of the particular teeth.
They are pretty small chips, none I would classify as chunks, but I was wondering how bad this is... there is 160k+ on the gears.

if they are on the side and not on the tips or look like they would allow the teeth to break should be fine. but if your worried replace them while its apart
