Killed Rear End -Wifes not Amused- well launching my 98 SS M6 at 28-3000 after a (1/8th mile)8.44 and a 8.42 runnin 10psi in my NT555s. the less than 2000 mile richmond ring gear poped. i was FREEKING out.. thinking it was an input shaft on the tranny or something expensive. weird thing is .. it broke on the 1-2 shift not the launch?!?
i take it these are gunna keep breaking? I spoke with an Fbody brethren at the track and he has a decent price on a 12 bolt.. guess i get to dive into that next. this is the 3rd rear end failure since i bought the car in august. 1 stock axle (9-3-04), 1 auburn diff(9-17-04) and now the NEW ring gear that was installed along with new bearings and seals when i shattered the old diff.(10-22-04)... I've got another 4.10 gear set thats very slightly used and in fine condition.. see sales section.

something of equal or greater value i'm sure...
when it poped i could hear the people along the track at the fence.. that ever frightening collective -OOOGGHH- and my stomach droped.. time for ride of shame...
