I kept mine.
Maybe I could sell them on Ebay?
Or...
Maybe I'd change gears back to stock one day? (God nooooooo!!!!!)
Hey they're your gears, keep 'em.

i kept mine, and you should have too. you could have sold em to a 96 and under GT which i think only has 3.08 stock gears ( ) or to a v6, they always seem to want our stock parts

Somebody on here or another board made a clock out of their old ones. I thought that was pretty darn cool.

Yea but its nice keeping it and a few years later your like, "Holy crap that is my 327 gear i had in my mustang." Like me i found my stock shifter in my friends garage after almost 2 years. I was about to cry. OK not really.

you might still get them back, theyre only gonna make money off of them more than likey. hell, i even kept my old stock mufflers for some reason, i know ill never use them again, but id rather have them than give them away what if somehow , someway, your new gears fooker up or something? etc... you know what i mean?

I have kept everthing I have taken off of my car. I grew up in house where everybody fixed up old cars and whenever they did they always kept the old so I guess I did also. As well if you ever sell the car you can use all of that as a selling point
