Need Gears and Diff Cover Well.. This was an awesome sight to behold after limping back from the doctor.. Anyone selling stock gears and a cover around the Katy (Houston) area? and I guess whatever else I'd need to replace them.

I'll get pics up once this rain stops.
Looks like some/many people opt to replace the entire rear and not just the gears..
BTW, what's the best brand of chocolate syrup use? <joke because that's what looks like is coming out>

This may disappoint some of you, but I may have lucked out! All I found when I opened her up was a fuzzy donut and looks like I dropped a nut (really a bolt backed out, but that wouldn't be as funny).

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.. Things just went from bad to worse. I'm guessing this isn't something JB Weld can handle.. So much for just replacing the broken bolts.

Lol@JBWeld! Just remember about the different carriers we talked about the other day. Do some research. Safe bet, make sure you get parts from a 6spd car.

I'm all messed up now. I though I had 3.42s based on the 13.42, but reading more and doing some math, I have 3.23s.. I'm feeling like throwing in the towel on this car.

Thats what I was saying the other day. A4s came with 2.72 or 3.23s. M6 came with 3.42s. You mentioned Firehawks coming with 3.42s and Id never heard that, but thats why I wanted you to check! 
Anyway, the ratio is irrelevent. The carrier is the same just so long as its not the 2.73s.

Thanks to Nemesis350 having a torsen cap I am now back on the road and without breaking the bank. Replaced the bolts with grade 8s and red treadlocked those bad boys in.
Wrapped it up around 10:30pm tonight and took an easy drive around. No noise at all. So far everything seems to be great!
