Here are what my detent pads look like. Again, 3rd gear (top) is clearly in worse shape than 4th.

It is interesting, I took these pictures to show the detent pad, but the second picture clearly shows wear on the teeth of friction ring, as mentioned in mynamiseli's thread.

I thought I would mention again, these are steel rings, even though the color is more like brass/bronze.
