In our 2005 drive transmissions we added a little in the center-to-center distance (off the top of my head I think it was 0.0015", but I can check on that if you'd want) and chamfered the shifting gears.

Also, we didn't care how fast we were running the transmissions when we shifted. Our problems on Friday at SVR weren't related to the gears themselves. There were minor problems within the transmission related to snap-rings. We had no other mechanical issues after fixing that problem (which originated in Sacramento) for the rest of the season.
