If you can overhaul a transmission including replacing the ring gear and
output bearings along with setting the ring and pinion position and
adjusting the bearing preload then you are covered. This is best justified
when combined with a needed overhaul or at the least pulling the transaxle
to service the clutch or some other reason. As for performance it does help
in snow and mild off road. Before spending on this though I would look at
tires and wheels along with the suspension first.

Has anyone installed the gowesty posi-traction differential?  If so how does
it work?   How difficult was it to install?
