Default Gears - Complete Kit?

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?

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..

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.
