so I'll be going it alone on this one. I have all the tools but any kind of precision measurement tools. All else I have. I have talked to multiple people on this board and other friends/co-workers. So far, what I get is a 50/50 opinion on this:
50% ---Nah, no prob, it's not that hard just take your time, and follow instructions
50% ---NOOO! Don't ye dar even open thee case cover, lest ye be cursed to eternal damnation. Get a mechanic lad, and remember's I warned ye!! *maniachel cackle*
LoL, maybe I'll have a horse pull it?

I would suggest letting a pro do the install for you.

1. Would it be better to pull out the rear end completely just for a gear swap?
2. Are JEG's gear sets any good? I dont ever drag or race, just street and highway use.
3. Richmond gear and other companies sell various kits that have diff. levels of parts included. All my parts are good, this car was pampered by the previous owner. So, what exactly do I need just to replace the gear set? At least bearings/gear-oil I assume.
Thanks,

I am changing gears because when I bought the car, it had a 3.4 w/ a 5 speed. My gear is a 2.73. I ripped out the v6 and put my non-smog V8 w/ a t-350 in there. And with the gearing it has now, it would be a dog. So that is why the gear change. And to be honest it's the only thing left I havent changed, lol. I am restoring the car so-to-speak. -Rabid
