yeah anything dealing with drive train or engine mods I would not buy used unless those things look brand spanking new. I agree with all previous posts on this.

I would not pay $100 for used gears. I would not use used gears if they were free unless they were some used gears i had laying around. You can get new gears for less that $200.

i agree u can get new gears with an install kit for like like 220... the install kit sperately is like 100 bucks or a little more which u will need newayz... so you cutting corners for what.. 15 bucks??? kinda a no brainer main.... get on summitracing.com or 50resto and get a gear and gear install kit... they cut u a little bit of a deal buying it all together and u need it neways so just buy it all at once brand new... i know people how have gotten bu with used gears just fine but i also know ppl who have had really big problems with used gears... just get one ones and be safe... if they were like 25 bucks it might be worth it but there selling them for at least 80% of original price and even if they wre in perfect condition there used so i wouldnt give more than 60%... like 50-60 bucks tops... its you money tho do as u wish

BS! I've ran 2 sets of used gears in 2 different cars w/ NO issues. Both Ford racing gears. As long as there is no visible wear and no chips in them, go for it!

NOT EVERYONE HAS EXTRA 100 OR 200. I used to use, used gears on my chevy's......do you think race teams throw out gear sets when they have used them to have to switch them out for a taller or shorter gear for a track?...mmm did I use used enough?
