Ok I just put in another used 10bolt. It's out of a 1995 T/A with a gear ratio of 3.23 ( yes it bogs like a **** when I get it moving I can only imagine it's he'll on my clutch). Besides being the highest mileage rear. The hubs can slide 1/4 of an inch back and fourth. It's pretty quiet. I found two more 10bolts. Option 1 $200 1998 Trans Am Auburn 3.23 with 81k great condition pulled out for a t56 swap. Option 2 $150 1995 Camaro Z/28 3.42 with 120k pulled from a wrecked camaro that was side swipped. So driving condition is unknown. Before anyone says anything I'm already saving up for a 9inch from Brute speed the expenses are from over time and my 2nd job. I just want something to throw in my DD. The 3.23`s are a big no for the T56. Regardless of the rear I'm going to get I want to put 3.73s in. 4.10 make the rear to much of a liability. 3.73 will keep me happy for a bit. My question is a high mileage M6 10bolt with 3.23 gears better than a lower mileage A4 10bolt?

I would go with the rear from the automatic, as it should of lead a much better stress free life. Thanks. Bob

That's what I'm leaning on aswell. But after reading more of your Article Bob I've decided I rather go with the 9" because there the same price but the 9" is stronger

Correct, the 12 bolt is weaker than the 9 inch, and they're both very close in price.

Thanks! Bob
