I am re-assembling the gearbox on my 10k and didn't realize when taking it apart that the keyed gears could be assembled in different orientations. I attached a shot showing the 2 different ways they can be installed. Does it matter which way I re-assemble or is there a proper way? I am thinking that the orientation will not ultimately make a difference on the gear ratio so I'll just install them in the un-worn orientation but I want to make sure. Thanks,

I along with just about everyone else picks the unworn side when reassembly. Sometimes when swapping them they don't slide easily on the shaft. A little file work to take the edge off the keyways is all that is needed.
