Braking

[devam]

Hey guys,

do you think that hard braking sends a shudder or shockwave through the diff tailshaft and through to the clutch engine? If you were doing 8000 rpm and you hit the brakes all of a sudden the driveline is forced to reduce rpm and from the other end also. Have there been any studies on this? I have tried googleing it.

thanks

not so much failure but gradual wear and tear?

On my car there is not sign of any excessive wear on the clutch (SMG) as just had two replacements but neither were worn at all.

Had a replacement diff also around 70k miles
