I got my mustang yesterday and was wondering what type of differential is in it, it is a 91 Gt with the auto tranny, I think the gears are 2.73 but is it limited slip or an open diff????
Does the rear end have an ID tag on one of the cover bolts? This tag will have the gear ratio and an L if it is a locker. I have yet to see a Mustang that came from the factory with a 5.0 from 86 on that doesn't have a locker though. Sometimes they're so worn out you might think it is an open rear though.

I'm gonna take it one step further and say: Fox GTs in all years came standard w/a Traction-Lok rear, except in 1982. That includes the '83-'84 Turbo GTs.
1991 gearing is either 2.73 or the optional 3.27.
All this per the Mustang 5.0 Technical Reference & Performance Handbook.
It does have a tag on it but there is no 'L' on it, I'm not positive but it doesn't look like the factory unit though, I will just have to pull the cover I guess, Is there any way to make it work again if it does have the locker in it, if it doesn't does anyone know a good place to get one for a descent price, I will probably go ahead and pick up some new gears while I'm at it, either some 3.42's or 3.73's, anyway thanks for the help.
