it takes a special set of tools to install gears

 

even I pay other p[eople to do mine and I work on cars 60 hours a week

 

My dad and I did mine without much of a problem. None of us being super mechanics or anything.

 

It all comes down to taking your time and being super exact with measurements and the installation. If you don't have a couple days or even a week to devote to it then don't even attempt, but it was worth saving the $200 or so dollars IMO.

I had mine done by Bill McGraw in West Jefferson about 4 years ago. His grandson is on this board. I never had a problem. If I remember, he did them for around 200 plus parts.

 

good luck

We can have it done in a day, for very inexpensive as well. Make certain you have the shim set, or master install kit with your gears.

plus one on the install kits...

 

 

it normally pays 4.5 too 5.5 hours labor.

 

and it should only take that or less time.
