I have been using Larry at D & L Transmissions for years and have excellent success with his kits. They are complete and high quality.
He if very knowledgeable and helpful.

me too.

I popped for Paul Cangialosi's video and considered it WELL worth the investment for a newbie (me).

With that, a press and a parts washer tank -- you're ready to rock 'n roll!

Both Paul and Larry are Authorized A.G. distributors. Its refreshing to see people interested in quality, not a cheap kit with lots of extra junk added in.

If you don't have a front nut wrench, you can buy a cheap one (There are some nice high quality ones out there but you're looking at a ~$40 price point). If you buy the cheap one, it is definitely a "one shot deal". Do NOT use the wrench to take off the old nut. Only use it to install the new one.

We had caged needle bearings for the cluster gears made. You now have a drop in solution to the 112 loose needles. We only had them made for the 1" countershaft pin size though. If your hands are stiff, it can be hard to pack those needles in, and it removes the opportunity to drop a couple on the floor LOL. Certainly not a necessity however.

I haven't bought from 5speeds, as there has been no need, but I have visited his shop in FL. He showed me around and showed me where he used to work in design for GM for many years and has copy of the original prints.

I'd give Paul Cangialosi a call (Really Nice Guy)...even if just to get more education. It's Free.

OMG what a cool deal. Not much more aggravating thing than gluing all those needle bearings and spacer washers inside the cluster gear with wheel bearing grease and praying nothing comes loose when you press the countergear shaft in place. Did that twice 20 years ago and once 30 years ago. My hair is too gray to go through that again.

hi guys , very had a problem with the needle bearings , few beers and we used Vaseline , the theory was when the tranny got hot the Vaseline disolved easily , grease did not , could be a urban legend

I have been using heavy grease on the needle bearings for over 40 years and never had an issue.

I second that. Paul C. is great and had awesome zero roc sliders and matched hubs. They made my M-21 rebuild the best I have ever shifted. Paul will not hesitate to answer questions if you have any along the way. His videos on YouTube are very helpful.

Vaseline is a low quality mixture of oil and soft wax. It is made when raw paraffin wax is de-oiled. Grease is oil with additives to make it thick.
