Well it's weird, loading everything else was fine, just the continue screen was getting messed up.  It probably has to do with loading stuff that's further towards the outer edge of the cd.  Like he says you want to test something that seeks and reads from the outside of the disc.

Yeah, AoF is probably a good test candidate as it seems to load a lot of data.

Just made a few updates on the procedure for installing the CD gear. At one point I mentioned possibly needing a shim for the lens motor on a very small amount of drives. Turns out that simply flipping the lens motor over fixes the issue on most. Must be that the spindle is not perfectly centered on some motors or possibly that the mounting is warped.

Also, grease definitely seems to help with the lens moving too fast issue that happens with some drives. However, most drives don't need it since the motor usually gets weak with age naturally making it a bit slower.

Still got the new gears if anyone needs them. I also have some good used original gears but honestly I have no way to tell how long they would last.

Just got my gears today and I successfully got my first drive to work on the first try. The tutorial is super easy to follow and worked like magic, so pumped about it. Thanks again Keith

All hail to KC. He works magic. His gear work has worked flawlessly, on top of the other work he performed on my unit. This guys work is top notch. I highly recommend!
