Trans Question

[Monday]

Will a 8.5 10 bolt posi fit my 96 rear? Are they sized specifically for an f-body car?

As always, I am grateful for any replies... tnx

You mean just the center section or the whole axle housing? Either way, neither will be a bolt in option. I don’t think the carrier will work in the 8.8, and the 8.8 in your car is already well ahead of the 10 bolt junk in strength.

Hi lwarrior1016. Yeah, just the posi part. I put 410's in mine 2 years ago but told I had limited slip... I would like posi.

I thought limited slip was Ford talk for posi.

 

[lwarrior1016]

Yeah, limited slip is definitely Ford talk for posi. They both spin when you burn em down.


If you really want it to be locked all the time (I know I wouldn’t. Limited slip makes the turns much easier), you should be able to get a gear lock out for your carrier. I’ll look and see if I can find it.

Thought so. Op after a while the clutches wear and it acts as an open diff. Maybe that’s what’s going on.

That's gotta be it. Gonna have to buy those clutches and have them replaced. I just do engines and knew nothing about "Ford talk".

You guyzez are great!!!


Thanks for the link lwarrior1016

Don’t forget to use friction modifier when replacing the diff fluid.
