Rear end pumkin damaged
Only have a 12 streetport. Dont launch the car only weekend it took me a long time to find this part.finally got it for $300 usd is damaged on one tooth . Still Can be spung with out no issues . Was thinking of installing it as is ? Asked a couple machine shops and they said i can fether edge it and grind it down a bit ? Why would i grind down the only bad gear and take it down dont understand what feather edge is by the way. Guys what you suggest alot have told me buy the peace or racing beat yeah i know they sell them but they cost $900.

Grinding it down will remove the pieces that will eventually continue to break off the damaged tooth, and "feathering" it will produce a "smoother" engagement.

I completely went through the same rear end and replaced the discs and all. I did not replace the crush washer or remove pinion. I did check the lash though and made sure on the ft lbs on the pinion.
been running fine since then
