Okay well I pulled the trigger on this. I know I should change my fluid at the same time but that will probably wait till I do my spring fluids refresh. I won't want to do this if I keep adding things to the job.

Anyways near as I can tell the potential wear items that will not be replaced by this kit are the two bearing sleeves for the shifting arm to tranny connection, the rubber grommet on the "bearing shifting arm" (25111434625), and the shifter rod joint (25117580281). From what Riggo / UUC says the bearing sleaves are of no concern since this has two mounting points on the tranny. I believe that but at the same time they are only $4. The "bearing shifting arm" is $20 and the shifter rod joint is $17.

So I'm looking at around $55 for all this to be shipped. I need some opinions on this. If it's a waste of time and money to replace them then I won't get them but if it may be beneficial I would hate to not take this opportunity to replace these things.
