Doesn't matter if it slipped. The 3rd gear and 4th gear get worn due to slider issues, worn blocker rings or damaged clutch. If he wants you to replace it you diffianatly should. Better safe and if it is worn and you put new sliders or blocker rings it will only damage those if you don't.

Thanks,

Post pics of the gears with a close up of the small teeth were the slider rides on . I should be able to determine whether they are usuable or not .
