IMO, either you have some wicked wheel hop or you need to find a different gear installer.

I would venture a guess that the majority of broken axles/gears are with the M6 versus the A6. Driving a M6 leaves more room for driver error. Not saying bad or good, just that there is.

First off, I think we need to set the "hopefully under warranty" thoughts aside...

This car has been modded, procharged, gear swap, slicks, raced, most assuredly ragged on, clutch dumped and the rears have broken 4 times???

Dude. You need to put it back to how it was originally built...race axles and all. If you want to mod it out from there, go for it. But it's like the saying goes...you gotta pay to play....which is exactly why I have not supercharged yet. I think there is something going on as well... I mean no disrespect, but you sure the driver isn't the issue? I haven't heard of anyone else going through four sets of gears...

That's just nuts...

I have the LPE 3.70 gears (micropolished) and they are doing fine. I have been to the road track with them a couple times already and maybe spun the tires a few times.

Not sure what is going on but I drive my car hard and it is solid. Sorry to hear you have gone through 4 rear gears now.

What powerfreak said.. it's either wheel hop and not letting off when it happens or bad installation/setup.

I went through my stock gears, and two sets of richmond 3.73's, my cars is a m6 and has horrible wheelhop, just got everything BMR sells as far as suspension.. lets see how this works..

Wheel hop's a b!tch. That's for sure. That'd do it.

Lol got the call from the dealership and its the axles that broke(stock ones too) but we have broke 2 370 gears at the track... Thats some good news!

Would putting on the heavy duty axles cause something else to break when the axles hold up?

Sorry for the confusion but now its the axles
