As I said, my 3rd looked nearly the same as yours. I would at least pick up a good used 3rd gear to replace that one.
How the heck did I miss this thread???? . . . Many of my questions would have been answered here.

As for the friction ring. What do the ball detent pads look like? That is the place that really wears and causes the ring to not travel foward and stop the gear in time.
Oh, , I did notice some marks on the backs of the rings . . . now this is starting to make sense, how these things work. (I think) . . .
I will go take some pictures of that.

Thanks guys!
