Note that the new plates many of us have been using still have problems: the holes are too large for the pins, and the pins are too short. This causes the oins to fall out. We replaced the short pins from the new plate with the long pins from the old plate, but they still came loose (they didn't come completely out, although they may have with more use).

I would advise teams using this transmission to swap pins, and use Loctite 638 to hold the long pins in place (be sure to clean the parts with acetone first)

Banebots have announced that a new transmission will be available for sale very soon, which includes the hardened plate and longer pins, but they don't say whether they have fixed the hole problem.
