Sorry for my ramble, I missed the part in your original post that the other gears in the qc gearbox were ok. If PM can’t get the gear in a timely manner, you can try Maedler Gears, they have a good selection of quality metric gears. www.maedlernorthamerica.comIt’s most definitely in the qcgb. It’s gear #1 on the right hand side of the box (labeled as 1-8). I ran it in every other gear & everything is normal. Run it in #1 & I get the rotational noise.
I just cannot see the damage looking from underneath. I’m thinking at least get the front cover off of it, that way I can see what happened to it.
Thank you for the well wishes too, I appreciate it.

It does. Of course it remains in pristine condition.
That’s possible. I would like to get it out to take a look, roll it on the surface plate, set it up in a couple v blocks…something. It seems it may be pressed into a bearing on the exterior of the gear box. Trying to come up with a good idea to get it out of there. I may have to put the gear box back together & turn something to get onto the outer race of that bearing.Bent shaft?
They (Precision Matthews) recommend a 5/32” brass rod in the event the shear pin is broken.And install a softer, more easily breakable shear pin. Might want to check with manufacturer about this.
You could disengage the end gears. Run a DTI over the gear teeth tops without disassembly, perhaps?That’s possible.
