Transmission ring gear repair
Transmission ring gear repair
(OP)
Hi,
Does anyone have any info on repairing helical cut ring gears? The damage is very minimal approx 1/16" x 1/4" on 3 of about 70 teeth. The damage is limited to the very outer edge of the teeth.
The gear is (was)practically new. Damaged during differential swap. Replacement cost is about $400. Is it worth trying to repair?
Thanks for your insight.

Repair seems unlikely as philrock states above.

Here’s some more detailed info:
Gear O.D. 7 3/4”
Gear width 1 1/8”
Tooth face height 1/4”
Tooth face width 1 5/16”
Damage w. 1/16”
Damage h. 1/4"
If my math is correct this makes the damage area about 11% of the contact area of the tooth.
Does this seem like it’s too much.
I should also mention the damage is looks to only be the depth of the hardening.
Thanks again
