Probably want to find a vendor like RPM Transmissions or RKT56. To do the rebuild yourself you need a lot of special tools.

Is your car auto or stick? When my car was 6 speed I couldn't keep a built DTE diff together to save my life. Had the brace and all that fancy stuff. :dunno: I went auto and c6z rear end.

Rick will give you an education and a good build!

What are you doing with your TT?? Improvements??

I would look at getting an ECS Brace a better differential mount and also considre poly engine mounts.

You need to do all that you can to eliminate drivetrain shake and wheel hop.
