Theres not really anything as a "standard or metric" gear. You really need to take the whole tranny to someone that make gears (it would be better if they specilize it transmitions). Without special equipment you cannot find the pitch diameter, the helix angle, the presure angle and a bunch of other dimentions that are needed to make a gear of thet complexity.
