There are plenty of variances coming out of the factory. The second bendix that stripped is on the left and shows that engagement was even shallower than when the first gear stripped (middle bendix). Trouble is that when the second one stripped I had a thinner gasket between the cases and the teeth stripped way fast. The only other difference was that I had a different (new) ring gear on the flywheel.
