Also posted on the HAMB and this was his response;

"That's a pretty nasty chip. Fair chance that little bit at the end will crack off fairly easily. The little piece might fall safely into the bottom of the gearbox. But then you're left with 2/3 of a gear tooth. If that's the tooth that comes around at the moment you decide (or need) to hit the gas hard, there's a good chance that tooth will depart the mother ship. If that happens,the slider gear will slam into the next tooth......he'll want to join his brother in the goo at the bottom. Then you get to limp home .......ka-klick!.......ka-klick......and so on.

You could dress the tooth to remove the chip, and it might be fine as long as you a gentle driver."
