  • 1 tire fire in hard corners.

    To start off I don't have a front sway bar, the body rolls a good bit. That's what I figure the problem roots from.

    The diff has the 03/04 cobra clutches (3 months old).

    Here's the catch, the cobra clutch kit came with a bigger, stronger s clip and I couldn't get it to fit in my 91 diff carrier. I have a 03 GT diff carrier and the new s clip fit in there.

    At first I used the 03 mustang Carrier but my axles kept falling out, and that is because the side gears were spaced out to far causing the C clip to fall out, so I tore the guts out of it and put it in my 91 Carrier and I couldn't get the bigger s clip in, so I used the original smaller s clip.

    Should I cram and force the bigger one in? Is that the cause of my problems?

    It's about 1/2 Inch wider, and way more stiff.

      Ok, I don't go into corners hard for the fear of frying them.

      In straight line it will spin both, and I really don't do burn outs anymore.

      Sweet, you're the guy I wanted to answer this question.

      Why are the 03 and 91 carriers different? The 03 has a bigger opening for the spider gears and side gears.

        because the 31 spline carriers have larger gears. Have to have a larger window to install them

              I figured 8.8 was 8.8. The carrier was in a GT so 28 spline.

              Makes sense though, thanks!

                  Lol! This place, especially the racing bench would be dead without me!

                  Who else can have multiple 15+ page threads in a week? I bet the advertimesnts love me. I should get a cut on this!

                    I used a press to put mine in.

                    If you can do a burnout in a straight line still, your clutches are not fried.

                      Did you restack the plates? I got significant increase in breakaway torque by restacking the plates so that they alternate friction steel friction steel etc... I am on the hunt for an F150 spring or the cobra one. If you decide to leave the smaller spring in there then PM me with a price on the spring.

                      If you are lifting a rear wheel then you are going to get whelspin. The roll center in the back is higher than in the front. As the car leans it will lift a rear wheel higher than a front wheel. The way to counter the problem is to put a larger bar in front. The flatter cornering causes the rear to be more planted but also causes a push. One way to get around that is to lower the roll center in the rear. You can install a panhard bar. The bar needs to be parallel with the ground . The height of the bar is the roll center. It would be best to remove one of the upper trailing arms if you do this.

                        I stacked the plates how it showed in the instructions. It was metal, friction, metal, IRC.

                        My car doesn't have a front sway bar, so the nose rolls a lot and that is what I was figuring was causing the wheel spin. Its not set up for corners at all, but I'd like to throw the ass end out without having to hold the brake around corners.

                            Lolz.

                            Must have had some 4.30s or 4.56 with a hellacious stall, at about 2400lbs.

                            Fuck a c4, Rowing gears is where it's at!

                              it'll take you some years and experience to realize an auto is where it's at drag racing. Not to say there aren't some guys that can throw the shifter.
