My 95 5.0 5spd has a factory rear end and very minor bolt on mods, my traction loc works fine if I spin in a strait line or if I hang a donut to the left but if i try to do a donut to the right or hang a figure 8 it just kicks to one tire. Also some times when i spin in a strait line and turn to the right slightly it will kick to one tire. My car has around 70,000 miles on it and was babied until I got ahold of it, any help is greatly appreciated.

Try changing the rear-end fluid. If that doesn't help a trac-lock rebuild is likely in order.

Ok what kind of fluid do I put in the rear end and how much will I need. Also is there a special additive to put in the rear end when I do the change??

Click to expand...

85w90 oil with friction modifier. Both can be had at autozone and you will only need 1 tiny bottle of friction modifier and a 5qt jug will be enough to fill it. Get the hand pump that fits the 5qt jug while you are there, as it makes it a million times easier.

Fill it until it starts to come out the fill hole. Then you are done. Same method as our auto trans (except ATF goes the trans obviously).
