I am going to tackle a gear install in my 02GT. It only has about 2200 miles on it, and would like to up the ante to 4.10's. I plan on adding an ATI in the future, but the way I look at is, with 4.10's at 6K rpm's on a 5 spd. car, I will still go low 12's, if I have the power. What do I need to install the gear. I know that I need to set backlash and will need to shim it accordingly, with only 2K miles, how important is it to get the bearings replaced?
