Paging Dr Evil & Co. - Transmission Advice Options

[Rabbit1445]

Hi Everyone,

I am currently rebuilding my 901 transmission and a few members from the Pelican Parts forum suggested I direct my questions here towards Dr Evil and other folks who have done some DIY work on the 901/914 trans.

I purchased Dr Evil's DVD and tore my transmission down accordingly. I was able to briefly drive this transmission and it seemed to work great, but I needed to reseal it and swap fifth gear. Upon tear-down the dog teeth look very good on gears 2 through 5, but 1st gear does have some wear. The synchro bands have some wear on the moly coating in the first three gears with 4th and 5th looking excellent. My plan was to replace the dog teeth on first gear and the synchro bands on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. This leaves me with the shift sleeves. I personally thought all three sleeves looked pretty good. Minimal wear, sharp teeth, and no metal smearing, but a few Pelican members feel that if I am going to replace any synchro bands, I need to replace the accompanying shift sleeves. This has led me here.
I have no problem replacing any worn parts, but do not want to discard any pieces that have good usable life left in them. With that in mind, I am hoping Dr Evil and any other members that have experience with the 901 can chime in on the condition of the shift sleeves from a few pictures and help me determine a course of action. I have also attached a photo of the 1st gear dog teeth and a worn synchro band to illustrate some of the wear on these items that I think requires replacement.

Any help would be appreciated.
