thanks to all of you for your comments. I guess my next question would be what if I were to take these gears that I ground to a machinist and have them make it as flat and true as can be?

I do appreciate all of your interest, and in hopes of running this transmission for a real long time, maybe someone has read or knows how much less wear I could expect with the gears having been properly machined?


I really do appreciate having all these extra brains and points of view toward solutions to my "problem"

like I mentioned earlier, I am already in love with the LSD in my tranny. I won't go without, but knowing that it's done as well as it can be makes me feel better about the whole idea. Thanks again, Victor.

edit:
the more I think about it, the only time I should expect any kind of wear on the lsd block would be when it's actually "slipping" and the top and bottom gears inside the pinion are moving independently of each other. That means it's probably going to wear a lot less than we all may think.
At that point, I'm going to hold off on the machinist until I see the lsd from my current lx tranny. That will tell the whole story about the last almost 10k miles it's run so far, and whether or not I should be worried.
