whoa there killer
J/K
the u joints you should be able to pick up at any random auto parts store
you can get a gear install kit from summit racing just have to search alittle on their site
and the kit comes with all the bearings shims seals and gear paint you will need to install the the stuff
but judging by your not knowing what you need im guessing that youve never done a gear install so just be warned setting up gears is a biotch
especially if your doin it on jackstands and not on a hoist
sometimes it can be worth your while to pay the couple hundred to have a pro install them so you dont have to worry about gear whine and potentially drastically shortening the life of your rear
but good luck with it

ohh and haveing a bearing press helps alot as well as boreing out your old pinion baerings to test for pinion depth so you dont have to keep pressing the bearings on and off

 

OH THIS SITTE SUCKS SOOOOOOOOOOO BAD!!!!!!!!!! I have NEVER seen a site this good. You gave it a couple hours what did you expect??? Did you think everyone should know YOU were on YOUR computer and needed a little advice that I'm SURE you could have found if YOU had SEARCHED???? I'm sorry I'm an A-hole, but damn, you won't find a more helpful site then this one or a group of people that are more willing to help. Sometimes you gotta try to help yourself if you want immediate results...................for instance do a SEARCH! Good day, and I hope the install goes well.

 

Thanks guys, sorry i snapped but i have the ring gear, posi, and i wanted to get the rest of the material today to start the install, i tried the search, didnt get exactly what i wanted.

See now that was alot more reasonable post..............Many more would be willing to help you with that attitude.

 

u have the ring gear only or do u have the pinion gear also? I'm sure u know this but of course youll need both I didnt do bearings when i just did my rear end last week. I went to my local speed shop and ordered a kit that basically had everything besides bearings. It came with shims, crush sleeve, carrier spacers, i think thats what they are called i dont know, new ring gear bolts, and marking grease, and i only paid about $65.

 

I'd recommend a solid pinion spacer instead of a crush sleeve or collar and might as well get a rear support cover. Both available from Summit (my source) and others.

 

i just bought richmand 4:56 gears and im am not sure if i want 4:10 what do some of u guys have, im not sure what the best choice is for a 6 speed

 

Most say 4.11's are perfect for M6.

 

First, part of your problem might be you posted in the incorrect forum. This is the LT1 Engine Tech forum... this should be in the Drivetrain forum. That forum is where the rear end experts hang out most so by posting there in the correct forum, you'd have more people to answer your questions
