I would toss that unit and put in an electric selectable unit. You can get the proper spider gears from GM but they are around 400.00 and for that much cash you might as well get something good.

On a side note if you are not changing the gears you most likely will only have to set back lash. make sure you keep the shims on the side they came out of and you might even be right on with out too much hassle.
