I would definitely change the shift cable while you've got it apart...

Why? If it's just 'because the drive is off', then don't change it unless it NEEDS to be changed. Pulling a drive is a 3 minute exercise. The shift cable on my previous engine (1994 4.3LX) is still original, as is my 2006 engines' cable. Shift cables rarely 'wear out', they are destroyed by an external cause (Water in the bellows, split shift cable bellows etc)....

Yeah he seemed pretty misinformed. I am planning on doing mine in a few weeks and will probably use OEM or Sierra. I am not sure if I will do the sift cable or not. I took the outdrive off and the gimball bearing sounds great. I asked a local marina what they charge and the quoted 1800-1900 for parts and labor. I just about chocked. Holly smokes that is crazy. Maybe I had sucker on my forehead.

I was thinking it would be a good idea since he has it apart piece of mind is all Achris.
