New rear end for 06 GTO

**EasyEp** · 07-19-2011, 02:56 PM

It's been awhile since I've been on and maybe its been asked before, didn't see anything yet.
My question is what is a good new replacement rear end for an 06?

Update since I was on last. Not in Afghanistan anymore, but currently in Iraq. Car is in the shop getting a lot of things done, can't wait to show pictures when I'm done. So thats why i need a new rear end for it.

You can get an Eaton TrueTrac for your existing rear or a 9 inch center section kit. But the 9 inch kit is almost $4k. You can also check out the Harrop site as they have larger rears for our cars.

can I ask why you want to replace your stocker,ive ran 9s on my stock rear for three years now..

Because there are those of us whom have been plagued by whining, chattering rears. I STILL don't get how folks can run fully-modded GTOs and STILL have a factory rear. Hell...I don't beat on mine, and I have gone through, I think, 4 rears. And that's shifting at 2k in the city and 3-5k merging onto a highway.

lol well i think might have to do with your car being a stick,do you have any drive line mods,like a aluminum drive shaft,harrop cover etc? stick cars are way more abusive then us auto guys.
I always preload mine before launching it,I think that helps.

I have a Harrop. Do they cause issues with M6 cars?

Mine is A4 and its in the shop now while i'm in Iraq getting a supercharger installed. it was a thought from the mechanic at the shop, he said the GTOs where notorious for weak rears, but that might be the M6s not sure.
