Unless you are familiar with how to degree the gears and have the tools to do it, I would take it to someone. If you don't get it right they will whine and wear a lot faster.

Unless you got access to a press, micrometer, dial indicator, and depth indicator i would not bother, i borrowed all that and it still took me forever my first time doing it.

you dont need a tune after a gear install. you will need the programmer to adjust the odometer or the plastic gear to be installed in the older cars and thats cheaper than the programmer without a doubt

I think you should go ahead and do it if you it isnt your DD. I find itto be "fun"working onmy car. my cars been up a while but only because i dont have all the tools. As long as you have a torque wrench, Impact, micrometer, dial indicator and some of the poop paint your good to go id say.
