McG - from what you describe, I would have no hesitation to reuse. Especially since new cluster gears are $350+, and you don't know where a new one comes from (one of the suppliers told me that his transmission gears come from Brazil)! If you have trouble, sounds like you have quite a few that you could keep on swapping out until you found one that works.

What seems to be still an issue with repop is the cluster and main shaft bearings. Has anyone found a reliable source of good ones?
