is my rear end missing teeth?
is my rear end missing teeth? thinking i lost a tooth in my stock 3.42 M6 rear end?
when you go to get it rolling, it seems a bit notchy, then when you hit the gas, the car surges back and forth as if there is a tooth missing from the rear end... shifter/stick jumps up and down under acceleration at low speeds, i.e. if you put it in second and hit it at 10 mph, the stick seems to just higher than normal... and does it in sequence depending how fast you are going... and the rpms you are at...
looking for a stonger than stock rear end to put in my car.... maybe a 12 bolt, can anyone point me in the right direction, any websites? ect?
little help here
Thanks

A missing tooth wouldnt give you a surging sensation without a lot of noise.... like a ~tink~ or maybe even a bang.
I would look at your transmission mount first. If your stick is oscillating and the car seems to surge, this is a more prevailent symptom.

Solid trans mount = bad idea.
Although, now that I think about it..... it might be your forward torque arm bushing.
Energy Suspension makes a poly trans mount that is a great OE replacement and its pretty easy to remove/replace. Thing is.... they dont make one for the 93-02.

on my 1996 A4 I found that the reason that the mount is not listed for 93-02 is because the hole on bottom of the mount does not line up perfectly with the hole in the crossmember. all you have to do though is take a dremel and and lengthen the oval shaped hole about a half inch farther up towards the front of the car and the thing will fit fine. also, make sure your transmission sits at the same height when you're done. i had to make a spacer . i hear if the angle is off you will get some nasty vibrations.

One thing to note, their installed height is taller than a standard/stock mount, which in effect..... will change the transmission/pinion angle, so if one were to change over to the new poly mount and find that they pick up a slight vibration..... it would be because of this.

Select "LSX Vehicles", then "Install Documents". Scroll down to the bottom under transmission.
hmm, well, that damn site is in teh hurricane area.... so i cant get a tranny mount from there for a while..... but anyways.... my rear end is definatly making a lot of noise now, and when i go around a tight corner, it locks up, and the innermost whell starts spinning, because its locked.....
my rear end also pops once in a while..... who makes a nice 9" rear end that i can have installed in my car? want to keep abs, and traction control.....

well, i found out that the last person that replaced the pinion seal didnt tighten everything up very well when it went back together..... and that caused the death of my rear end from normal driving, i wasnt even getting on it when it slammed up against the carrier unit and cracked it..... also replaced a fully ripped transmission mount.... feels so much better now....
