SS & TA drivetrain problems????

I'm looking into getting a 99-02 SS or TA and am trying to get as much info as i can on them. Are there any major problems everyone seems to have? The car will for sure be a manual cause I could never have an automatic. Any help would be great.

Also is there anything I should look out for when buying one?

The only real "weak link" is the diff. The factory 10-bolt only uses a 7-5/8" ring gear, and they're very prone to premature failure :rolleyes: (and it can be any component ... the ring, pinion, or in some cases, the actual carrier will grenade!!:(). Getting an M6 (6-speed) is GOOD because you get the T56, which can handle a little more power stock than the 4L60E (A4 - 4-speed auto) but it's BAD because they're even harder on the diff ;). But just drive nice and you should be ok :).

Otherwise, there normally aren't too many other problems with the F-bodies. Just the big stuff ... diff and transmission!! :D (again, mainly the A4).
