It give me a warm and fuzzy thinking that what's in there is OE vs an aftermarket as well. Please keep this updated from time to time. If the aftermarket part is reliable I may just order one to have on hand for the next time.

I don't think I could ever just flip my gear unless in an emergency situ out of town or something.
I don't see a downside to the gear replacement other than you don't get a new motor, new seal and the hassle of the rebuild. Otherwise the gear swap is fine. With the prices so cheap now Id rather have all new.
