Default Broke my 08 Differential Case, What all to make a 08 Z06 Diff. work?

When I broke the differential case I also broke the output shaft in the Transmission, So I know that is getting changed also... Will everything else bolt right up of what?

I would call DTE or RPM.

Also, look at this.

From the thread I made everyone recommends rpm, I would give them a call to find out for sure.

I've already got a 08 z06 differential, I have the 300m hardened output shafts that I'm going to put in it out of my other differentia. I'm also gonna put the z06 mainshaft shaft in my trans. I was just wondering what else I had to have to make it work, like if it would bolt in to my cradle and stuff...

Thanks

The Z06 differential will bolt right up with a 30 spline Z06/GS 30 spline mainshaft upgrade to your current transmission. You will need to remove the rear pump assembly and the heat exchanger from the Z06 differential and install a base rear cover and plug the additional hole. We have the required plug that you will need and can provide you with a rear cover gasket as well.

That's a lot of RPM to launch these things. You can get a 1.60's just launching at 3k.

Been there, best of luck getting it back out to the track!

any HP mods to the car or just bad shifting?

That thing had no intention of hooking, none at all.


Game over, man. Game over.

Only a 4k launch? Geesh, that doesn't seem very high for the stronger '08+ differential. What kind of tires?

Did you not watch the Video, It Dead hooked is what killed it, lol... and it moved 2 foot, who was shifting?????

The car is a stock short block LS3.... It had 26x11x17 et streets on it....

Yeah its not stock, lol... It had an ECS Novi 2200 on 12 psi boost, H/C, Meth, RPS Twin Disc Clutch, The Differential didnt actually break, The output shaft on the trans broke, it wasnt a clean break, it broke at an angle and it walked over the other part and cracked my differential case... I had a DTE Brace on it and hardened shafts in the differential....

i did the same thing, but made it about 20 ft out of the hole. lucky for me, i did not break the housing,



Rick Kim @ RKT56.com is taking care of me with his Built Z06 TR6060 and Z06 rear with DSS shafts. plan to add a Carbon Driveshaft from DSS and an ECS trans/diff Brace.

I already had pfadt engine and transmount, with pfadt solid spherical bearing, some reason i credit that to letting it last as long as it did.

-Carl

p.s. also like to add, Twin Turbo, with RPS twin carbon clutch, Tick master cyl and MSD 2-step , BOOM! lol

Ahhh, reminds me of my 1st tranny in my turbo busa, except my mainshaft twisted like a wet noodle.

yeah I already got a stock z06 differential with 8k miles on it, gonna throw some hardened shafts in it, and put a 30 spline shaft in the trans and hope it lasts for a while...lol... My buddy did the same thing, he went to the track and it held up fine at the track hell he went a 9.98 on a 1.5x 60ft, and then he broke it on the street but it didnt bust his differential housing either...
