I ran the Doug Nash 4+1 5-speed in my 73 RA-IV 455HO
Firebird with a missing tooth on a forward
transmission gear for at least a year or more before I
discovered the missing (broken) tooth when I drained
the trans fluid and found the tooth stuck to the
magnetic drain plug. You can be SURE there was a lot
of torque on THAT gear! Must be there is enough
contact between multiple teeth for things to survive
for a-while, aya. (lucky too I think :)

"...if we still will adhere to the design of a national government, or, which is the same thing, of a superintending power, under the direction of a common council, we must resolve to incorporate into our plan those ingredients which may be considered as forming the characteristic difference between a league and a government; we must extend the authority of the Union to the persons of the citizens,--the only proper objects of government."
