I'm not really sure how it broke but it did. I can still ride around on it but it makes a constant noise. I had it in a shop and he said the housing is twisted. Then he pointed out that the axle tubes are kind of crooked. I thought it was just a stripped ring and pinion but he called me up before he was going to take the cap off and check them just to let me know that and say that it really isnt worth the money to take it off cuz its already messed up and everything in there is going to be bad also. The car is pretty much stock its got a lid, 3.73's, and a borla. I really dont understand how it went bad i dont think the gs d3's are that sticky they spin all the time. I don't ever launch the car or bring it to the track.

Yeah thats the only logical thing that would have done it, that and driving like an idiot probably doesnt help the little 10 bolt. Ohh well it would of went sooner or later. One less thing to worry about now once it gets fixed. Will the tc let the car rev quicker when its in park or nuetral?

The quickness in revving is due to the smaller diameter and lighter mass though and not necessarily the stall speed. Think of it like installing a lighter flywheel in a manual car.
