The M5R1 was modified, and the problem is gear 2-3. They don't make it any more apparently. I almost ordered parts, and would have been screwed. Anybody hit this situation, and what did you do? I wanted to rebuild my own, but the gear alone, costs about $600.00. I've found some reconditioned for about $700 and some change, so that looks like the alternative. Otherwise it would have been only about 300 or so to rebuild the dang thing.
