hello everyone i installed a 2.95 gear set from the gear box.org because i blew out 3rd gear in my tranny. i installed the gears the way the manuel said and put everything togather and drove it for 2 days at low rpms to get the gears worn togather the 3rd day after installing them the tranny went out again. so i pull the tranny back out and tore it apart and found out that the input shaft gear and the gear that it matches up with on the counter shat were both chewed up and ****ed lol. there was no movement in either of the main shaft or the counter shaft they were both shimed right. juss wondering if anyone would have an idea of what went wrong or if anyone else has had trouble with that gear set from the gear box thanks.

I've rebuilt a few trans with gears from those guys. No problems at all. My current t-5 is built using a 3.335 gear set from them.

Hard to say what went wrong without knowing more info or seeing the trans in person. A millions things we could speculate
