Because I think I would have had problems in short order on the super tranny if I had just slapped some braces on it and went on my way.

I doubt anyone was in it before. There would have been tell tale signs of it. I imagine that someone abused the crap out of it and broke the teeth. It happens. That is assuming you mean the teeth on the pinion itself, and not the gear on the hydro end.... ?? What do you mean it doesn't "look like it was set up right"? Was there any backlash in the gears? What does the gear contact pattern look like? Wes there metal shavings?
Your gut rumbles a lot....
