Gears do not come with a t-loc. Factory you have 3.31 gears. You should not do the install yourself unless you are a very capable mechanic with experience in replacing gears.

Install should run you about 300 bucks, I suggest replacing your gears at the same time you change your t-lok, it will save you in the long run.

Gears are in the rear axle and make the car move forward.

T-Lok is a traction locking differential and make both tires spin which gives you more traction.

I have never ordered from this site but this is the best deal I have found on the T-LOC


Stop that annoying and embarrassing "One wheel peel" with one of these! Traction-Lok limited slip differentials are made by
Ford Racing and have plate type clutches. For use with factory installed or after market 28 spline axles for 7.5" V6 Mustang.

Ford Racing Friction Modifier - A must for every new Trak-Lok or Ring Gear & Pinion install. Requires 4 OZ. of Friction Modifier
on initial fill. Capable of handling up to 350Hp.

Add a Ford Racing Ring Gear & Pinion set to finish the rear end upgrade! The 4.10:1 Ring Gear & Pinion is a good match for
the AOD/AODE & 4R70W automatic transmissions and the 3.73:1 Ring Gear & Pinion set is more suitable for the T-5 manual
transmission.

3.73:1 Ring Gear and Pinion set is a better choice for the automatic transmission if a supercharger is planned for the future.


Usually ships the next business day. No lower price anywhere! FREE SHIPPING!

this is where i'll most likely be ordering my t-lok this week. my gears are arriving today...woohoo!! i did my research and this is the best deal i could find.....other than used parts. if i order from chipsv6 either today or tommorrow, i'll let u all know how the transaction goes.

*by the way, i'm going with 3.73's. i have an auto. i 've read over AND over 3.73's for manny and 4.10's for auto but i'm not looking for that much of a jump even though i'm sure it would tons of fun. i want just a solid/moderate improvement on my acceleration at the least. i'm cool with my stock gearing so moving to 3.73's should be good enough for me. NO racing intentions. i'll post after my long awaited mod is finally complete.

in your case, i personally would recommend getting a whole new 8.8 gt takeoff rear end.
