I have done them. The only problem is parts. The only place that I have found to get the install kit is down under. I would suggest getting a Kazz diff also.

I have called TAC and they told me there are no tools or proceedures for the gears. They are diff replacement only.

GTO gears are super easy just buy all the **** from difftechnics and bolt it together. There is no pinion dpeth setting and you just screw in the carrier supports for backlash (IE 9INCH STYLE). EASIEST GEARS EVER.
