First off, you shouldn't be getting on it and trying to do burnouts if you just had the rear end rebuilt. There is a break-in period.

I don't think your gears have anything to do with that fact that you can't do a burnout. I did burnouts all the time when my car was stock with the stock rear end and 3.42 gear.

How are you trying to do a burnout anyway? What kind of tires do you run? Is the car driving sluggish or missing at all? How does it shift?

I asked the guy if I should wait n do the breake in he said no. It's ready for anything I said ok
and by the ways it has 35 miles on new rear end lol
how many miles is the breake in?

on my last car I done burnouts n all that bt diz one jst feels lazy dnt wanna run when it's on the freeway it feels better
bt still lazy you step on the gas n u get no response
I dnt knw wats wrong with it
I tought could be the gears
I didn't drive it b4 with the old rear end
I got some nitto tires nt555 I think
they are like 40 left on them 285/40/17

it shift fine with no problem it's jst thati dnt feel no balls on it at all
any idea?
Thanks

Do you have the regular Nittos or the drag radials.

Is your SES light on? If the car feels sluggish, you can try cleaning the MAF and see if the response gets better.

If you are running DRs, they aren't quite as easy to break loose.

On my aftermarket rear end the break in period was 500 miles.

[98maro]

I think they are street radial
bt even with the street tires I had won't do nothin

it has the abs light on n some other light
INOP or somethin

How can I Kobe if they are DRs?

I should do da same
wat gears u got?

I change the gas filter yesterday. Feels way better
bt still,
I knw it has more than dat
I check the MAF n it looks clean

[silverWS6]

a4 or m6? Buy some maf cleaner at autozone and clean your maf anyways, it wont hurt.

[98maro]

It's an M6
I'll go buy it right now
so I jst pull it out n clean the inside or how I do it?

You cannot tell whether the MAF is clean or not by looking at it. Remove it from the vehicle and use CRC MAF cleaner to clean it. Let it fully dry before re-installing it. Just follow the directions on the can.

[98maro]

Ok thanks I'll clean it up. Thanks
there's no way to damage the MAF right?
I seen the tb it's very dirty on the inside should I clean it up too?

I have 3.73's and a lousy A4 and I could easily burn that size tire up. Probably get a couple feet on the 1-2 shift at wot. There is something wrong but not the gears. Try hitting a Auto Zone or your mecanic and use the code reader it's free at AZ and see if there are codes that may not be setting the light off. Even a dirty MAF shouldn't cause that bad of a power drop but will affect power. Another thing since you have a 98 like me my fuel pump started going out right before 80k and I noticed a power drop. maybe yours is worse than mine was and can put out more than enough just to get the car moving and not produce any real hp. I'm a painter and do some mechanical work but don't know much more than what has cause my 98 issues.

[98maro]

It's on my 00 ss
at the beginig was very slow n lazy
it had exhaust leak. It got fixed. New gas filter I pulld out the MAF.I clean it. It was very dirty. Now it feels a diference but i dnt feel power to the wheels
I'm gonna go to autozone and have them check it out n see if something comes up

[98maro]

Forgot to answer bout the pump
the previous owner told me it had a new pump
but I'm not sure bout that
the car on the long way feels ok
the take off is slow n it feels super heavy

[35th-ANV-SS]

You can have your fuel pressure reading taken using a pressure gage at the rail. It should read around 58 PSI.

[98maro]

If it's less than that i need a new gas pump?

[98maro]

Where do I buy the gas pressure gauge ? Or whatever it's calld

[karpetcm]

dont buy it just take it to a mechanic and he should just have one. Just checking it shouldnt cost you much at all.

[98maro]

I'm gonna take it to my friends shop
anybody knws where I could find all the free mods ?
