Default How many have broken your final gear?

What gear did you have (stock, 4.44, 4.56, 4.77) and how many miles did you have it in before it failed on you?

2001, original owner here...

Broke the stock differential because of a cracked housing, 23K miles, no track or auto-X, no clutch drops.

The transmission was replaced 3K miles later -- the output shaft was howling and the dealer elected to replace the entire assembly.

today, i went to the dragstrip with my friends to see my 'friend' car running.At the gate, the girls told me it was only 2$ for a run so ive said to myself why not....SO at the end of the day, i decided it was the time so i jumped in the car.After some minutes of waiting it was my turn,so i pass in the burnout box and make a little one(dropped a 4000)and last about 2-3 sec.All was fine so i staged and the other cars too. The light goes green so i dropped the clutch gradually at 5000rpm and i heard 'Clak' and and nothing,like it was on neutral. i barely make 1 feet forward.the car didnt want to backing up or to advance in neutral when someone was pushing... jacked up and this is what ive see.***(the car is a my02 with 23k miles and all is stock,just have some wheels) the oil looks like it was fine ,smelling okay and no spacer*** 1 year and half of ownership maybe 5 launche and 0 burnout
