Well I'm not too hot on the idea of getting used gears, if they've got a lot of miles on them they can be noisy since they're set in a wear pattern from a different rear end. And changing the entire rear end, like the whole differential, means replacing the whole axle cause I don't think the axle tube/differential assembly comes apart. And that's a shite-load more labor cost
