I'm going to swap the gears and posi on my 92 GTA and I'm bascially rebuilding the entire rear end and I want to make sure I have everything covered before I begin. Here is what I have:

1. New Posi (SLP, 64501T $99)
2. New 3.42 Gears (Motive Performance, $175) w/driven gear (GM, 25513048 $3)
3. Deluxe Gear Install Kit (Ratech, $129.99) Includes: Pinion shims, carrier shims, crush sleeve, pinion seal, pinion nut, ring gear bolts, cover gasket, pinion & carrier bearings, and wheel bearings and seals.
4: Royal Purple w/posi additive
5. Replace rear brake pads and turn drums.

Does that cover EVERYTHING?

Thanks!

Oh, I also read something about needing new "bearing races", what are those? Are they included with the install kit I'm buying and are just called something different?

 

The bearing is one part, the race is the other that the bearing rides on. They should be included in the kit.

 

Cool, thanks!

 

yeah sounds like everything..

 

asking the same question more than once doesn't usually result in better answers, especially asking one right after the other.

 

I didn't see mention of gear marking compound, but I don't see the Ratech kit not coming with some.

It sounds like you have all the parts, now you just need some tools.
