That sucks! Might be bad news for me as well. I recently broke my 12 bolt and they are replacing my auburn w/ a truetrac. the grears (4.11s) seem to be fine. My car probably makes 550 rwhp but I don't launch as hard you.

we have installed a few of these in car over 500 to the tires and never a had failure (knock on wood) we are suspecting that there are some small contaminents getting into the gears causing them to self destruct. just a thought.

From what I've seen thus far it's mainly the 6sp cars that's breaking them due to the hard hit of the manual. It seems that the auto is a little less stressful on the TT. If you search you will find many posts very similar. Unfortunately I searched a little too late, hence why I have a spool today. I can't complain though because the Sponsor I bought mine from made it good but I would not recommend a TT to anyone. As far as contaminents causing the failures, I'm sure it's possible but after mine was torn apart this theory was not mentioned by the company that built the rearend.

I saw too many failures when I was at Exotic Performance Plus, so I took all the Truetrac's off the website. The failures started happening after Eaton took over the Truetrac, the Truetrac use to be a very dependable unit for under 600 rwhp. Bob

Not even good for a jeep, friend broke his rear Trutrac in his 8.5" lifted cherokee, It was an A4 too but did have 4.11s and a 4.6L with 300tq, maybe 4000lbs. Now he has air lockers.
