Default LSD on the stock Mustang GT

Does anyone know what type of LSDs are on the stock Mustang GTs?

Mechanical clutch-type LSD or Viscous-type LSD?

How durable are those that on the stock ones?

The stock LSD are clutch-type diffs and they aren't very strong. Most guys looking to put some power to the ground go with a Detriot Trutrac which is a helical gear type. I have one sitting on my floor waiting to go on now. They are supposed be a lot stronger,lock up a lot quicker, and be quieter than the stock diff. Got mine for $439.

Wouldn't call them indestructable but they are a lot stonger than the 28 spline axles offered in previous years. They are said to be good to about 550-600hp. Now if ford would just throw a trutrac in the back stock, maybe with some 4.10s or at least 3.73s forthe hwy guys[sm=pimp.gif]

Correct. The older mustangs had fewer splines.


Anyway,strength of the diff and strength of the axles are two totally different things. The axles in these cars are very strong, but the diffs are not very good at all.
