It depends on the gears. The Vex Pro dog has a bigger OD than the andymark one, so on a small gear, like the 28 tooth AM gear, the Vex Pro dog might be too big.
Also, some andymark gears have a 0.875" bearing bore as opposed to 1.125". The vex pro bearing bores also cause the bearing to stick out the back of the gear more than the andymark ones do, so you may need to increase the depth of the bearing pocket.
