auto 3bolt rear end how weak?

[hediki12]

i know its like a standard upgrade to dsms to go with the 4 bolt rear. my cars auto now and it sadly a 3 bolt rear. i plan on rocking this bad boy till it breaks . my question is how much weaker is it since is not receiving the shock that manual rears go through?

I wouldnt say alot. Ive beaten the life out the 95auto rear end and trans. The forst thing i ever broke was the center diff in the transmission. And that was intentionally by doing a neutral drop with a launch control (long story). I havent hurt the rear end ....... yet

I've seen a few 3 bolt rears in the 10's with auto setup's . The reason people get the 4 bolt is the thicker axle and splines that go into the rear it's self.
