A few months ago I installed my Speed-Cal because I have 4.10s. I purchased a white speedo gear which I used until I installed the Speed-Cal.

When replacing the white gear I noticed that half the teeth were sheared off so I drained the tranny fluid and replaced it.

My question is this, is there still plastic crap stuck in the tranny? Are the chunks so small that replacing the fluid was sufficient to remove the debris?

I would flush it and change the filter. Then try to find out why it happened.

The white gear is crap. Mine did the same thing but I have had no issues since I swapped out for the Speedcal. I could be wrong but I don't think there is enough plastic in there to do any harm. You could do a filter change if it makes you feel better.
