TJ, Look very closely to where the teeth are chipped and where the pinion meshes. If the chips are out side the pinion mesh you should be OK. What you can do or I can if you don’t fell comfortable doing it yourself. Break off the cracked teeth and lightly grind the chips smooth and angled so that they don’t hit the pinion gear and re-shim the gears. I think you will be fine. I have been running a chipped ring gear in the rear of the XJ and the front of the MJ, with no problems. If you think there to far gone I am doing a gear order later this month get with me.
