I'am in the process of rebuilding mine.  I found that I needed snap ring pliers.  I have the usual ones from Harbor Freight.  Found the ones that I needed at NAPA.  Go to ZBAG.com out of Minnesota and they sell the various gears and 1-2 and 3-4 intermediate gears (not right name but I can't recall what correct name is).  Brewers does have some of the gears new.  And they have the complete rebuild kit with gaskets, bearings, etc.  I've been on the phone with Brewers several times and they always take the time to help me.  I had to make a little tool to press the countershaft out.  I figured that broken teeth on gears would be the big thing to look for.  Actually, the condition of the clutching teeth is the most important thing.  You can surf around on the net and find pictures of good clutching teeth.  Need to look for brinnelling of the countershaft pin.  Surface need to be nice and smooth with no washboarding.  Also need to make sure the end play of the installed countershaft is correct.  I think it's around 15 to 20 thousands.  Brewers can tell you the correct amount and they have various thickness shims to allow you to achieve the correct end play.  You need a special tool to install the bearing and seal in the tailshaft but it's best to just take the tailshaft to a transmission shop and let them put this in. Doesn't cost but $10 or $15.  So surf around on the net and read everything you find and then call Brewers for any final questions.  I'am sure Passon is fine too.  Just never used them.

brewers is a great place to deal with. they are very knowledgable and will actualy take the time to explain things and talk to you. some of there parts a re a little more then other places but the customer service makes it worth it.
