I got one of those. all the gears are actually a little larger then the G-force stuff, especially the first gear (G-force the uses a weaker Z-spec 1st gear instead of the larger 9310 alloy 1st that Astro uses.
heres a pic of the G-Force kit, notice the space in between the gears (2nd/3rd)
Heres the Astro A5 kit the gears are a little thicker, and the first gear is an actual upgraded gear unlike the Gforce 2.95 Z-spec gear (1st gear is all the way to the right)

it shifts exactly the same.
your only changing to stronger gears, the synchros, bearings, etc are all stock pieces.

I been building T5's for awhile, so its not that big of a deal anymore (difficulty).
if you can rebuild a T5, you can assemble an Astro A5 kit no problem, there exactly the same, except the gears. lol
