about if i need traction-lok rebuild kit. Im not trying to make this the trillionth "which gear should I go with?" thread Rather, just wondering about the Trac lok kit. I mean, my car isn't a one wheel wonder yet but im swapping gears and im on the fence about this. My car has 63K ish on it currently.

Also, I assume that it's a wise bet to do the bearing kit? Or is the install kit good enough unless i find a bad bearing.

 

If you are doing gears might as well do a rebuild, it makes good sense

 

31 spline upgrade kit is a good idea. I mean its the same job as a gear install. I know it adds $384 to the upgrade, but it will be stronger for you and more reliable if you ever start wanting to be serious about racing, whether its in a straight line or corners.

 

Axles and a new diff is only $384?

 

he's planning on buying the $109 T-lok rebuild kit. I was saying it would only be $384 over what he would be paying for the rebuild kit and he wouldnt have to pay someone to rebuild it. Its close to $500 total for the new axles and diff from AM with free shipping. But still a worthy upgrade nonetheless.

 

Unless you do alot of Racing, burnouts and etc..I wouldnt think you would need to rebuild your t-lock..But hey...if you got the extra cash then yea..go for it.

 

This.

 

doesanyone make a limited slp that does not use clutch packs?

 

Edit: I dont think there are. I thought the Torsen's and the eaton were not clutch style but they are.

 

There are LSD that use a set of "floating helical cut gear pinions" like the Quaife Diffs (what is used in the Focus RS)
