If you can easily pull it with fingers, it'll fall out in no time on a vibrating and shaking FRC robot. If you have the right size bearing, the hole is probably oversized a bit, which is bad for me, because I'm counting on it being a press fit for our winch thing, and if it's not, I don't have time to wait for another gear to get here...

I'm assuming you have the other dog gear for the transmission (and another set for a second gearbox?). When you get access to the gears, could you see if they're all like that?
