IMHO, thats not a complete rebuild kit. For one thing it doesn't include new snap rings and I wouldn't recommend reusing them, especially when you can get all the snap rings for $10. Also, I would replace the the c-clips, (if I remeber right, thats what they are called but they might be c-springs) slider keys, and shift fork pads. Depending on you budget, I would also upgrade to a steel 3-4 shift fork, billet slider keys, and bronze fork pads. Like Wrencher suggested, talk to T56 Rebuilds, I am sure they sell rebuild kits. If you plan on doing this yourself, make sure you have a variety of good snap ring pliers. Hope this helps man.
