I'm going through this process as we speak with that kit. I'd added the Viper 2nd gear as well as premium bearing upgrade. My reason for the bearings is if your tearing into it now it's better to go ahead and upgrade the bearings because you do most of the work AND more importantly those stock bearings have the wear and tear as your syncros and other stuff. Pre 01 yrs do not have the Viper 2nd gear, it has much longer tooth engagement. In the pic below stock on left, Viper on the right. Look in the center and you'll see the engagement I'm talking about.


Vexzer is correct in that most of the parts in the stage 2 are standard rebuild BUT the other stuff that comes in with the stage 2 is the reason for the cost, much better over stock.

Here's an example of the upgraded syncros form the kit. Now to be fair the front syncro is worn out but the new syncro has the carbon fiber while the stock rebuild does not.




NOW the fun news.....if you plan on doing yourself make sure you have the t56 tools needed. #1 reason is for the 5/6 bearing and syncro assembly. You can't press the bearings on like the rest. I guess it is by the design of the bearing. If you try to do so you'll break the bearing. Now some guys say screw it and not bother replacing that bearing. I'm not like that, if I do a job it's going to be right otherwise why bother. Makes one more fail point later on that I would know that would bite me in the ass later.

So I'm waiting on this magic tool to come in so I can finish my transmission. When it comes in I'll try to get a pic of the tool and post it.

Uhhh I have made this thread way longer than it needed to be. I apologize to everyone following. I have been lazy and did not finish posting all of the pics

It's all good. Long reads in the winter months are kind of nice.

All kinds of manual transmissions are somewhat easier to repair. In an automatic transmissions, the mechanism may be a little complex and hence is a little hard to repair. You should consult a transmission repair specialist for getting your vehicle's transmissions repaired.

Good luck with the rebuild! I would like to see pictures I may learn something new!
