What does this mean? I vaguely remember seeing some brass something-or-other on the dog gear shaft, but we've never fully disassembled that shaft so it's probably still there.
Edit -- also, how long should the M2.5 bolt be?

I am curious as to what you mean by the "fix-it" window? Seeing that your are not from Michigan... I don't think you have one...
You could only do this repair during a competition I think
