Sounds to me like that relief ramp could bite you in the butt. Usually, a sharp crisp edge is preferred. In fact, a worn out clutch dog has rounded edges, causing it to slip out of gear??? What do I Know??

That's what I was thinking, Thom.. So I hope someone can explain why it would be better with that "relief ramp"..

I replaced an older clutch dog in my lower because of those same worn areas.

ok I pulled out a clutch and fwd gear to see what's what.
I had been looking at it backwards. The GearPros one makes sense now.
The ramp is on the trailing side of the dog - so it'll start to fall in to the gear sooner.
