Limited Slip Rear End

[SGRIM]

I just started playing with another TR got running better took off down the street tried to build up and guess what one tire burning up like crazy. Back up to see if would lock in, it will turn both over in reverse easy but to get to lock in is a B**ch. Very tricky, My other 3 cars just spin both tires with no backup. Is this normal I thought all Turbo cars had same rear end????

Check the option code list in the trunk for G80

Yep, G80 is the code for the limited slip rear. Not all turbo cars came with it.

It may not be a posi, or it may be a posi that has worn out. The clutches wear,and it gets to the point where it has very limited locking effect, if any. You can replace all the clutches for less than $100, so it's no big deal, other than the PITA pulling it apart.

Non-limited slip 87' GN

I know what ya mean........when i bought my 87' GN i had no idea that they could come with a non-posi rear.......untill i got it home and went out to play.....and guess what.....one wheel wonder! After checking the option codes and asking around.....i found out it was a true non-posi GN.

Is that also true that all non-posi TR had aluminum brake drums??
i know mine does.

P.S. (New Eaton posi is now in a box in my garage...waiting to be installed)

G87 is the code for the 8.5" ring gear. With or without the posi, all the turbo Regals came with the 8-1/2" 10 bolt rear, so they should all have that G87. You can look up any option code at GnTType.org.
