3.73 Pinion Chipped I just received a set of 3.73 I bought of EBay. When I open the box to my suprise the Pinion gears are chipped on the outer edge. Not all 8 of them are missing about an 1/8" of an inch.

If they were damaged in transit go after the shipping company for the replacement. Take pics of the box and all and call them.

Not advisable to use them. Those chipped areas will get hot and continue chipping/breaking off.
