Default Chipped Speedo Gear Teeth

So one day I get my new Quaife LSD in the mail for my GSR transmission, and Im happy. So then I decide im gonna go ahead and put this LSD together and ill admit I have no experience, but youtube sure did help allot. so I go to autozone and borrow a bearing puller from them and proceed to remove the ring gear from the old differential I successfully did so... or so I thought. Upon inspecting the ring gear I noticed I chipped the teeth, but not by much, but by careful observation you can see the teeth chipped off.

SO in conclusion. Will I be ok? or am I dumb , and need a new ring gear?

Since you used a puller I'm assuming you are talking about the speedo gear. You should be fine, just make sure the chips are clean and the teeth aren't bent over each other.

If you're talking about the ring gear, replace it with a new gear from Honda or replace the ring gear and countershaft with a matching set.
