Some close up pictures of that rust pitted first/reverse sliding gear posted here might help us in determining whether that gear is usable or not.

Also, it might be good to consider the rear gear ratio you have in your vehicle when selecting which later gear combinations you would want to use in your transmission.
Examble: I wanted to use a set of 3.54:1 rear gears in my car, and determined the best transmission gear combination was a 15 tooth input gear and a 29 tooth cluster gear as opposed to a 16 tooth input gear and a 28 tooth cluster gear.
