Yeah, the mechanic is most likely going to recommend putting bearings and seal in it also, so either get them now or have them charge you for it. It's a good idea nayhow, I did it. You can get a rebuild kit pretty cheap taht includes all the shims and bearing, yet the mechanic should do this anyway as you're putting a different gear set in anyway because the original shims won't be the right ones.

With the gears, does your engine take a beating? Or is it really not that bad?
