Richmond 4.10s go boom - 10 bolt carnage I don't know if you saw my last thread or not - but yeah 10 bolt is broke.
Pulled the cover - two teeth sheared right off the ring gear. Fluid looks really good - lots of backlash from the wheels though. I think the only thing that is broken in the gear. The car has a mechanical torsen differential and that seems to be ok.
Next step is to pull the whole rear out of the car - also need to order new ring and pinion as well as a rebuild kit. Think I am going to go with new GM Gears - still in 4.10

Also broke 4.10 ring gear teeth Mine did the same thing about a week ago except I broke 4 teeth off the 4.10 ring gear. I am going to try 3.73 GM gears and save up for a MWC 9".
Good Luck with yours

I thought about going with a different ratio but I have a feeling I will just be disappointed with the performance. I am just going to avoid the track until I can afford a MWC 9" for it after I graduate. Hopefully next winter.

245/40/ZR18 Dunlap Direzza Z1 Star Specs - they are sticky for a street tire but they are still a pure street tire. These are not as sticky as a drag radial (even nitto) but they are 200 treadwear. I thought it could survive that but I guess not. Best 60' I cut was 2.17 with wheel hop.
Need to add relocation brackets
any experience with GM gears?

GM Gears are by far the best to go with to avoid any kind of gear noise as long as they are set up properly.
