There should be some used rears out there. I saw a whole rear cradle/diff/suspension assembly on ebay. You should have all the parts you need. The risk is that you don't know the condition, but it's at least in one piece. Good luck man!

If money is not the issue, I think there's a place out in Cali call The Corvette Shop or something that will put a Viper rear in for you. If you will take a new stock replacement, then just take it to your local caddy dealer and have them put a new one in.

I can fix it myself I just need some parts. Yeah I dont know about the stock crap going back in even though it lasted 58k. The dealer qouted me 2600 for a new rear. That's not with install. Screw that. I think that is way too much for something that blows up if you get on it hard. So the Corvette Shop is the place I am looking for? Anyone know what city that is in?

Has anyone ever purchased one (carrier assy) from GM parts direct? I see they have a whole array of them on there from $650 to $1400. I'd guess that the V piece is the most expensive one but you'd have to email or call to find out.

Driving it the same as always. Going into 2nd gear and boom. Nothing all crazy we have been noticing the clunk sound for some time now I figured it was because of the bushings being rubber and the car having 58k on it. We have had nothing but issues with this car. But it is so much fun to drive when working proberly. Most of the issues have all been electrical.

wow those pics look exactly what mine looked like when it let go..... it sounds like it happened the same way too, shiting from first to secone and loud boom and no more go, i coasted into a parking lot and had it towed to a dealer, thats when i had a warrenty... now that would suck, i heard good things about the corvette shop, and it is in san diego... if you do go with the viper diff post on here how much... id like to know....
