Hey guys i need to replace my rear end on my 1988 5.0.
Its 5 Speed.
Will this ford explorer 8.8 rear end with 4.10 gears bolt ont my 1988 stang? It has disc brakes and my stang is drum brakes. I can just use disc right?
i have a 96 mustang gt 5 speed i was running it the other day and launched and it slammed 2nd and the transmission is stuck in first gear. the guy at the tranny shop said it some piece that holds the forks in the tranny and is known for breaking on the fords if anyone is familiar with this please let me know cuz if not im gonna end up getting raped at the shop 318 787 4182 text me if ya want thanks i appreciate it

Would this rear end work? and what is a limited slip? does that just mean its a rear end built for a manual car?
When you don't have limited slip, only one wheel will spin. When you have a locker, both will all the time. I'm pretty sure the way to explain it would be like sayin best of both worlds because when you turn, both tires aren't trying to push you and when one starts to slip, the other will start to help out. I'm pretty tired so this might not make since..
That's just retarded complicated that Wiki article, a lot more complicated than it needs to be.
All a LSD is is a differential with clutches inside, basically think of it like the clutch for your transmission, without the pedal. The wheels aren't locked 100% solid together, as they're only held together with clutches, allowing, say when turning a corner, outer wheel has a larger turning radius than the inner wheel right? So now the are both allowed to travel at different rates of speed through the corner. Just like your clutch for your tranny, they are prone to failure if abused. They do over-heat and slip when they shouldn't, this is mostly in a race track type situation, unless the clutches are just plain and simply worn out (as once again, they do wear out, just like the other clutch.)
All it does is keeps a certain amount of pressure, allowing both wheels to turn at the same rate of speed, receiving DIFFERENT amounts of torque to each wheel (DIFFERENT being the key word here) allowing both wheels to receive power from the engine.
The reason I said different amounts of torque is key, as with an open differential (if you've ever noticed, when someone gets stuck in snow, or whatever they get stuck in where you are) only one wheel will spin (FWD cars, about 99% of them have open diffs), this is because each wheel is receiving the SAME amount of torque. Basically what that means, the wheel that has the least amount of resistance, is just going to spin, since that wheel is just spinning, meaning there's almost no torque going from it, to the ground, the other wheel will just sit there and tell you to *%$& off, it's receiving the same torque as the wheel that's spinning, so essentially, nothing. You are now officially stuck in the middle of a blizzard in -30 weather about 5 miles from home, been there done that.
