The clutch packs in your differential are most likely wore out. How many miles on the car? After about 50k they usually start to wear out. You need a eaton diff with 4:10's

You don't need eaton diff, you can have your stock one rebuilt with the FRPP carbon clutch pak and be good to go.

Agreed Eaton diff is no where near required, carbon clutch pack will do.

+1 a set of $100.00? clutches, friction modifier, 75w140 synthetic gear lube, and an hour or two in your diff. Easy peasy and plenty of help here to guide you. Just common hand tools, nothing special.

PM me when your in it and I'll talk you through it.

Plus with rebuilding the stock diff it's less time needed when putting it back in as a new one would have to be re-shimmed and have new bearings pressed on which is just more money.

I wasn't serious about the eaton diff and 4:10's, but for sure a rebuild. Definately listen to these guys. They know their stuff.

The Eaton diff is twice as much as the ford trac loc, but its also much more durable and stronger than a trac loc!
I wouldnt waste my time or money rebuilding the stock diff as its only going to break/wear out again!

Here's a very handy write-up on how to replace the clutches yourself.
