Broke something and need help I gunned the car out of first gear and the back off my car shook and my driveshaft twisted and snapped in half. When I stopped the rear wheels only made a 3/4 turn and then locked up. They will only move 3/4 of a turn or so. I was wondering what you guys think I broke.
1999 ls1 m6 stock rear gear and driveshaft. What brands do you recommend I buy to replace the broken parts.

The pinion could have come loose and locked inside of the differential case. I have seen this before and you will have to replace everything inside.

More than likely, you will have to replace the carrier, ring and pinion and all bearings. If your M6 car is a '99, it should have a Torsen carrier and 3.42 gearset. If it's traction-control equipped, it's a series 4 carrier. If not, it's a series 3. Always wise to pull it apart first, before buying the new (or used) parts....Hope this helps. WJ
