just wondering if its worth the extra money to get the TA girdle for my car or should i not bother. sometimes i get on it hard on the street and get to the track a couple of times a year if that. so should i get one or no? also is the stock rear end gasket reusable? can i take it off and check out the guts in the rear and put some sealer on it and slap it back on? let me know guys, thanks

 

is the gasket on the rear end reusable?

 

From what I understand it is best to get a new gasket to avoid leaks. A rear end girdle won't hurt and as they say every little bit helps. When I got my gears installed they said something to the beat that it will help to reduce gear shudder

 

No, the gasket isn't re-usable. When you go buy one at Autozone or whatever local auto parts store, you'll probably have to ask for the gasket on a '98 or '99 since for some weird reason, they show no gasket for the '00 cars.

 

ok i didnt know if it was a rubber gasket back there

 

could just use rtv "permatex" to seal the cover to the housing
