Also make sure whatever shop you use has the correct shims and knows how to setup the backlash...that's the most important thing in getting it dialed in correctly.

the quaife is an excellent unit and many people have not needed the shim them to obtain the proper backlash.

As Mikey said, you may not have to use shims at all. If that's the case it's an easy install.
