I showed the pictures to the warranty guy at work (gearing company). The cause of failure was excess loading on one side of the gear. When you get these machined out, you better make darn sure that the gear bore and hub OD are true. The gears we make at work are a higher quality than automotive gearing, but its still a high precision part.
