Re: Which will go first? Rear or trans? My t-56 went first due to problems with the hydraulics and poor clutch activity engaging and disengaging. This was a problem that could not be solved at the time because of my power level. Normally I would say to change the rear first and add a 9" or 12 bolt so you can run a slick and launch hard. A stock 10 bolt won't last long with 4.10 if that was the route you were looking at.

Re: Which will go first? Rear or trans? Damn. This is not helping. It seems like half had tranny problems first and the other half had rear problems.
I'm talking mid to high 11second passes and I don't live at the track. It is a daily driver.

But i would personally just run till something blows. U may have the luck of the draw and nothing could break for a few years!

Re: Which will go first? Rear or trans? Cool. That's what I needed to know. That's what I figured too.

Re: Which will go first? Rear or trans? I would NOT do the rear first for an A4.. If you had a 6 speed, it would be a different story.
Look at Terry Burger, John Campbell, Scott Jantzer. 10 sec cars on stock tranny/rear. If your an A6, I would just upgrade the gears. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Which will go first? Rear or trans? Rebuilt tranny twice, both times with all the good stuff. Stock 10 bolt with 4.10's are still fine.

Re: Which will go first? Rear or trans? Yeah, but those fellas may be he exception to the rule.
Gears ~$500
TA girdle ~#125
That's $625 + that is literally "blown" if the rear goes. This is money that could've simply been used for a 12 bolt.
I'd rather leave it and hope for the best and have $$ put aside just in case.
