I'm rebuilding a Commando transmission and discovered that the stamped plates that stop the k/s shaft and the other that re-tracts the pawl are pretty beat up. These parts are available along with the revits that retain them, one of which is a perch for the k/s return spring (on the outer side of the cover) the other with a round head sits in a well. I have rebuilt a lot of transmissions, but haven't needed to question the condition of these plates, never mid replace them.
The work looks pretty straight forward, but a misstep could ruin the inner cover. I thought about using a Dremel to smooth the surfaces, but I worry about damaging the surface the k/s shaft butts up with. I'd appreciate guidance from any one that has done this. I am particularly interested in how the new revits are flared; in the past I have used a press and a ball bearing, but the stakes weren't this high. Thanks for your consideration.
Best.
