Having gears install this spring, anything else i should get?

[DemonGT]

having some FMS gears installed in the 89 this spring..should i just take the gears to the shop or should i buy a gear install kit? if yes then what one? the shop said there might be a charge for small parts if they end up having to replace stuff?

when i had the gears installed in my 91 i bought a install kit with new bearings etc....figured since it was open and was how meny years old i may as well have that stuff replaced....but not sure if its worth the money...

i would do everything while its out... master rebuild kit including the axle bearings, trac-lok rebuild kit... and a new heavy duty cover...

yes, but should i buy this stuff from summit or should i just tell the shop what i want replaced?

Go get your bearings from Carquest/napa/autozone. The shop will mark it up when they order it

i did the gear install kit from richmond and the gears along with a trac loc rebuild kit. its all up to you but better to spend a little now than alot later!

I'm thinking about the same thing. How much did it cost yall to get all the work done including parts and labor?

I think my trac-loc is shot. I heard a loud clunk in the rear when I tried to start on a hill a couple of days ago. This morning I was practicing my burnout (in a safe environment) and noticed I only had one mark.

Am I hurting anything by waiting on a rebuild?

something like this, then get your bearings from NAPA like someone else said.
