As painful as it sounds, splitting the cases also went well. A few taps around the base gasket separated them, then pulling by hand and more tapping got them apart. Inside I found the stripped 2nd gear. I also found that the right case is milled for a kickstart. Damn Honda for cutting corners and leaving off my kickstart! After doing some research on the web, I found another enthusiast who has already figured out how to add it. This forum post was made about adding the kickstarter. Hopefully I'll be able to get it in for $250 or less!
Now for the worst part: scraping the old gaskets off!
