You might need a Trac-Loc rebuild, which is not very expensive and you don't have to change axles if you don't want to. -------------------- '92 LX T5 Looked stock, went 11's 11.90 at 115mph.

Go buy a new diff or have your stock trac lok clutches replaced.... -------------------- -SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT- Posts: 5132 | From: Bay Area, CA | Registered: Dec 2001  |  : 166 Merlo FELONY MOTORSPORTS Member # 1549 posted                              buy my trac loc, playa price for jersey, $85, reblt 5k miles ago -------------------- '89 - Boss Coupe '70 - Drop Cutthang '68 - Cougnut '87 - 0166, Its real Posts: 3954 | From: Thebay | Registered: Jul 2002  |  : MustangNate ¯ Member # 4559 posted                              Mine is like that too. I bought a clutch kit, S spring, and pin from www.mustangwarehouse.com . All the stuff only cost me like $60. -------------------- 1989 Mustang LX Vert, 5.0 Auto Posts: 1032 | From: Chico | Registered: May 2004  |  : AJBlackGT ¯ Member # 3936 posted                              Just buy the $40 kit to rebuild the traction lock, and when you pack the clutches add additional clutches. The ford packing order is like c-s-s-c-s-s-c, pack it c-s-c-s-c-s-c. Use your best looking old clucth and slap it in there. This will make it a little bit stronger than stock which should hold up for you just fine. -------------------- 90 Notch Posts: 1896 | From: Sacramento | Registered: Dec 2003  |  :
