Hey Bob: Those dog rings and dogs on the gears are badly rounded. That happened on my formula race car. Pic 60DBC4E9-5CBC-4DF3-AC6D-5C4700B8244F.jpeg. I got my gears re-ground. I took my gears and dog rings to sharp rite grinding here in BC. You probably must have a grinding shop somewhere around you down there. One of the gears in that pic looks pretty bad and I don't think it can be saved. By the way those gears look very similar to the gears in my race car gear box. The angle on my dogs and gears was 7'. I actually had a tapered plate ground to 7' so that I could grind my own gears.
I have 4 pdf files that show different Hewland gearboxes. Not sure if I can attach all four here at the same time. Anyways I had the FT200 and take a look at the gears.

Mudbogger bought it, then it went to JohnL in Pennsylvania then he sold the car to a guy in Connecticut. He was gracious enough to sell me the cases so I Could get one Step closer to getting this transmission back up and running. I chased those damn case halves all over this country before someone would sell them to me.
