Thumbs up 99 Torsen posi with 182K miles on it

I tried launching at 5K rpm with et streets on the street and it did this to my axle:



This is all thanks to my new clutch setup of a tick master cylinder and monster clutch. I had the tick installed when I had the stock clutch and it never did this...that monster clutch is a ******* monster haha.

well i put 4.10s in it last night and took it to the track tonight and the posi couldn't hold it...I was able to limp the car home 50 miles, but had to coast around corners or the rear would kick out and skip gears...This is what the carrier looks like now: (circles are of holes in the carrier)

yea, when i picked up the new carrier it had the holes, so it turns out that wasn't the problem. I striped some of the gears inside the posi....I didn't feel like looking at it for long, just chucked it into the garbage lol.
