Does anybody have experience at determining at what point gear replacement is necessary due to wear on dogteeth? Can these be reconditioned by sharpening?

Re working the tips is always a bad idea. It compromises the shift timing and , at best, is very short- lived "fix". You are cutting away the skin-hardened material, soft remains. Simple : don't do it, get new gears. You already have the box apart.

Might as well replace them, no transmission builder has recommended reworking the tips as a best practice, and best of luck finding an available 2nd gear.

Thanks for the replies. Tick Performance is showing 2nd gear for $285 in their online catalog.

Give them a call, but when I spoke with them a couple of weeks ago they said that was due to a glitch on their site. There are a few people on here who are selling the aftermarket ones (I've been waiting > 1 month for mine) but even Tick said the aftermarket ones have been pretty good.

Tick is overpriced IMO. But if your in a hurry for it and they have it.....

Here you go for $185.00 but it looks like they are out of stock. I get all my stuff here.

Just to put into perspective what some people think these things are worth right now:
