I have the stock 47t steel spur gear in my Savage X SS. I just installed the 3-speed from my LE Savage and noticed the clutch bell teeth were chewed pretty good and there are shavings all over. I thought the mesh was good, but I think I need a hardened clutch bell now.

I have an S-25 engine is good shape (tuned aluminum pipe), stock 47t metal spur gear, and the LE 3-speed. What's going to be a good tooth count on a hardened clutch bell??
