I know I know but I just wanted to let you guys all know I rebuilt it and it is awesome. It maybe a little 2 tight. There are no issues with 1 wheel peels anymore. The car just spins both 275's out back with what seems to be no effort at all. The clutch metal clutch metal clutch metal clutch gear mod to the traction loc really does work. I was a little worried because I wasn't rebuilding it the way that the instructions said 2. It worked great though. If any of you are going to rebuild your traction loc I recommend follow the instructions on this link; http://www.redpulsar.us/~coldfusion/tlok.html

It worked for me. thanks for the help guys when I was doing this job for the first time. :SNSign:

click on the link a scroll down to section D. Thats wthe extra friction disc thing. It is how you set up the traction loc itself. section C is the factory set-up.

That's an awesome link....good write up. Mine isn't yet going out (in fact i don't think i've ever had a one wheel peel) but when it's ready, i'll keep that in mind.

Well I was a little scared to do it but I'm a believer. It works great. The true test will be this weekend when I get the car to our local track and get the slicks mounted. We will see how it works.

Yes you do need to get that thing wieghed. It might just make me go out and find a notch and swap all my crap into it. just to go faster.

Oh yah it will be all or nothing. I launch on my 150hp shot of juice. I got to get out on the street and practice shifting. Don't want to blow one specially since I don't run a window switch.

It really didn't take all that long. It is easy to do in an afternoon if you have all the parts.
