no postive traction

[jk kelly]

the car i bought has no positive traction. i jacked it up and turned the rear tires and one moved one direction and the other the opposite direction. i thought they had a postive rearend. any thoughts

Have to look at tag on bottom side of trunk. That is your Option tag for your car. See if you have one that says G80.

its not the stock trunk, so im out of luck there, did they not all come with positive unit

Go all the way down to the bottom of link.

No not all of them it was an added option.

If you are wanting to do a posy I would go with a Detroit locker for the money. Right at $400 and ether way you will have to set up the rear end.

My 85 Does not have factory posi either. I do want to ad it and some 411 gears also.

from what ive read turbo cars need longer gears = a load ... the 4.11's will slow u down

Really???, Need to do a little research I guess. I want it to be a stoplight to stoplight kinda car.

Stock gear ration is good well into the 10s.
My T did not have posi. Added an Eaton unit. Nice and tight. No issues with that.

 

[2QUICK2B6]

for stop light to stoplight get a TE-60 an a 3200 stall ... i went 7.50's an a lil faster but fell on its face after 1/8 stock longblock

Stick with the 3.42 rear end... some have tried 3.73 with not much success.

Make sure the TV cable is adjusted properly for the trans shifting.

Leave the gear ratio stock. Go with an Eaton posi and you will be happy.
