Technically only the installation kit. However, most people recommend the overhaul kit. It replaces the bearings among other things that you need to reuse with the installation kit.

You will want to call your installer and ask if he will do gears without new bearings. Sometimes the bearings are very tough to get off and they can get damaged. Some installers wont do gears without bearings.
