Abstract: A multiple component gear includes a first material for a first portion of the teeth and a second material for a second portion of the teeth. The gear may be manufactured by providing a blank for a multiple component gear, the blank formed from a first material, coupling the blank for the multiple component gear to a mold, adding a second material to the mold to form a second material secured to the blank through overmolding, and forming first teeth in the blank and second teeth in the second material.
