M40 Gearbox question 120-130

No response on the general RWD area so...

The thrust washers at either end of the layshaft on my M40 appear to be rather beat. The bent "lock" tab on one is hammered and the other one is wiped off.

I plan on installing an M41 relatively soon (fully rebuilt) so I just want to get by for a while. The rest of the components are in decent shape with some wear on the layshaft and races of the ball bearings but nothing alarming. It certainly isn't going to last another 100K miles but I feel OK for a little while.

The question is, "can I re-install these thrust washers or do I really need to get at least one new one?" And, "If I bent the tab a little farther so it works again, am I asking for immediate trouble?"

Thanks all,


Mike!
