stock gears?

[Michael Yount]

3.90 seems to work pretty well for me -- my gears are a 3.73, but the tire size is 225/50/16 - slightly shorter than a stock Stang-sized tire. That makes them work on my car just like a 3.90 would on a Stang.

my door panel says M which is 2.73, does that mean i have trac lok or no

3.73s with a manual

jaakal - the limited slip (trak lok) feature of the rear end is present no matter what the gear ratio. If yours is spinning only one tire, then the LSD is 'tired'.

yeah mine just spins one wheel, the passenger side, used to spin both when doing a burn out, but its shot now

so then, yes and no. (yes, it came equipped with it; no, it is not operative).

as an aside, one can tell if he/she has an open diff by noting if the back tires spin the same direction or not (with the entire rear in the air).

 

[jaackal]

yeah both wheels spin the same direction, but the rear is shot....also, could by not adding the friction modifer cause the rear to only spin 1 wheel...the shop i went to i dont think added it

The friction modifier allows the 'slip' to occur without chattering. With no friction modifier it'll make racket/chatter when on low speed turns -- but shouldn't affect the ability to split the power to both tires.

right on, as usual. as Michael has maybe played with in his younger days, runnin no modifier is common in autoX applications.
