OK - latest after spending way too much time on the phone this morning.
It appears American Axle 4:56 gears are out of stock everywhere.
J & S confirmed that this morning. Talked to a supplier in Canada who recommended Quality Gear - don't know anything about them.
Made several calls to local shops for a recommendation on the best shop to handle the install hoping for more info. That steered me to a supplier in Washington selling Yukon Gear. He indicates he has done several installs in the northwest, but I can't find anyone on the threads mentioning they have Yukon gears on a 6 speed.
Anyone with any feedback on Yukon - it may be the best alternative at this stage.
The only info I found on a search were a comment from Art that Yukon was a good supplier, and one from AKwares running Yukon 4:56 gears on an 03 auto.
Two of the suppliers indicated the Richmond gearset wa quite noisy.
UPDATE - Just got off the phone with ANOTHER supplier - he has nothing to offer in a way of 4:56 gears, but says the Yukon gearset is not built in the US - it is a Korean gearset imported by Yukon.
This is very confusing for a novice.
This is a very difficult club to join.
