Has anyone bought the gear set off of americanmuscle.com? It says it comes with everything needed to change the gears, but after reading some posts about gears I'm not sure if I need additional parts such as shims. Is everthing already included with the kit?

 

If you buy your gears and the install kit you will be all set

Install kit.

 

Well looks like my gears are gonna be spending some time in the box. Blew all my money on the gears and shift kit and christmas presents.. I was hoping it came with all the seals and bolts and everything.... Oh well.. It'll have to wait a few weeks..

 

welcome to the world of having car parts sitting around and being really sad about them not being in your car.

my vortech has been sitting since about july or so. shes FINALLY going on in december.

 

It sucks but it only makes sense to replace the bearings while you have everything apart. Honestly your bearings that are in your car are probably still good but why take the chance of having a bearing go bad in a year.

 

Well thanks to my girlfriend, I ordered the rear end kit.. Early christmas present.. Maybe I wont have to suffer from seeing my gears outside the car for too long...
