Lose the traction-loc

[Performance nut]

Finally swapped the Torsen diff. Wow what a difference. I knew the Torsen was better but man the rear end is much better. And knowing that there are better yet... makes me curious about rebuilding my 3.15 rear end later. Good stuff.

One thing was noticed during the swap. There is a silver tinge to the diff fluid on the traction loc diff

That's probably from the break-in of the unit. It's a clutch type diff, so it will shed material as it wears.

Ill admit, I didn't know much about the rear end on these cars when I bought one, I haven't kept up and did a some studying before I bought, and a lot more after I bought. Running 28-30 cold psi in the back tires, with the Torsen and the nannies, this car behaves well as long as you respect it.
