T2 Aftermarket Drivetrain

so ya. brought the gxl with a T2 engine, but the previouse owner lefted the gxl drivetrain in there, WITH A 3 PUCK CLUTCH!!!

totally overkill for the gxl drivetrain. When i brought it, i get rattle from the tranny under heavy throttle. So in another word, i'll need to swap it out for a t2 drivetrain. Now don't say i didn't search. most search on here just covers the motor swap. I want to try and find some aftermarket performance parts for the drivetrain. I think i'll stay stock for tranny, but things like driveshaft\axle\sideshafts\diff housing.....etc i'd like to try and find something above stock. I can't find any sites with those stuff. Does anyone know of any sites?

Driveshaft i can probably get a custom one somewhere, but the rest are what i'm concerned about.

TIA

people dont make aftermarket TII driveline stuff becuase a stock TII drivetrain can handle like 500tq and is quite "badass." why do you need an aftermarket driveshaft/diff/halfshafts? the s4 TII diff is bulletproof and the fairly THICK TII driveshaft is pretty light for how beefy it is... even the axles are pretty strong...

???

upgraded axles are available for 700 bux from racingbeat, transmission upgrade is HKS "dogmissin" (not for the faint of heart at 6k i believe)

Stock transmission can be rebuilt and "upgraded":

REM Isotropic Super-Finishing on the gears
Lightened gears
Gun-Drilled Shafts
Cooling system.. Is it needed? Probbly not for 99% of the carbon fiber and bling-bling kids

i'm going with stock tranny for sure

it's just so damn hard to try and find a full t2 drivetrain to swap in.

figur i'd try and take it up a step and get a lighten driveshaft or something. Not a matter of handling more power really, just a matter of yielding more power
