Steel final gears should be adequate to sort the issue.
Course they are heavier.

Every year I try to avoid broaching stuff but I finally got fed up and bought a #5 5 ton ratcheting arbor press and Dumont push broach. Built a nice stand out of 2x4 with caster's for that 365lb monster.

I also bought a rotary broach and holder but I am sorting issues out on that.

I had 20 and 24 tooth Vex gears because I bought 2 dual CIM Vex ball shifters lightly used from an FRC team on eBay. So I actually have something to test with. Personally I just usually use AndyMark boxes.

If figure as CSA sooner or later I am going to run into these Vex products.
