Any reason why I couldnt use the bearing/synchro kit for the 89 520/555 in place of the much more costly version for the 523/568 ? The front intermediate shaft bearing & race, oil slinger and shift fork pads are the only difference that I can tell between the two kits and I have those parts taken care of already through other means.
I really only need the snychro rings and $225 for the 520 kit vs $400+ for the 523 version is talking to me...

There is no reason why you can't as you've addressed the difference's, so knock yourself out.

I'm about 99% sure they are, the parts book says they are the same but I just dont want this to be one of those 'gotcha' things after ordering more parts that cannot be returned.Originally Posted by shackwrrr

Speed rings are the same. Across all models, 3/4 are the same 87-93 and 1/2 are the same 87-88 and 89-93. Just make sure the 89' kit really includes the 89+ parts. I'm honestly surprised you even need the 1-2 rings and frictions, they usually last for quite a long time, 3/4 are the ones that wear due to their material.
Thank you for the confirmation.
I dont think the 1-2 rings need to be replaced (and for this 568 I'm not replacing them) but on my better condition/original transmission (3.77 523) I want to replace them to make the transmission as fresh and new as possible.
