                Make sure you have the right gears for your carrier!!! did you have 2.73 gears in your car stock?? If so you need gears for a 2 series rear end not a 3 series...Richard should know about this to.

                  Well I just found a rear end from a 1999 Camaro, brakes included, will that work on my TA? they both have abs and T/C, and the guy said it should just bolt up no prob, just want to make sure.... Both Cars are 6 spd too thought I'd throw that out there!

                            Wow, can't believe no one caught this. Being a 6 speed car, you have 3.42s. The rear out of the camaro should work out fine for you.

                              Yeah supposedly from the info I gave the dealer it will bolt right up, big props to David for hooking me up with the rear end! I'm stoked, hopefully get it in tomorrow!
