this has been covered in the past; but here's an overall summary:
The C5 Getrag carrier is unique. So conventional methods to swap a ring & pinion gear aren't gonna cut-it. There's a few Kent Moore -type- specialized tools made for this.
And since the R&R on a C5 is a lot more time consuming than on common cars, most don't want to take the risk of not getting it right the first time... and send it to an experienced business... like DTE and others.

At least give Phil at DTE a call to see if he will share any pitfalls you may experience. He's a stand up forum member here and they do nothing but high quality work.Good luck,
