I have a 2016 GT pp with torsen diff and need a complete differetial. Any ideas? I want to keep the torsen for sure but no one makes a replacement with 3.55
I found a 2019 GT 350 complete rear end with subframe axels and brakes springs....everything...will this whole rear end assembly fit the 2016 gt s550. I have about 800HP and use Gforce axels.

Why do you want the torsen unless you are on a road course it is weaker and slow. If you are looking for off the line power do not get another torsen get a iron 3.55 or 3.73

At the very least nix the 3.55........... torsen holds its own pretty well, I'd say. Don't see slow, gear ratio is a gear ratio.

3.73 torsen or solid axle should run the same speed.

The torsens do break. The Detroit Tru Track is stronger.

Are you only looking for complete assemblies? These parts can be bought separately with ease (last I checked). I swapped my 3.55s for 4.09 and added the Torsen while I was at it.

Yes, the GT350 rear assembly will bolt right up, same chassis. If you are looking for a 3.55 Torsen you need to look for a differential out of a 18+ automatic PP1 car.

Yes thanks guys. I finally figured out that the 2018 automatic came with a factory 3.55 torsen so I found a wrecked 2019 with only 7,000 miles on it. Probably paid a little to much at $700 but with the tremec transmission the gearing is perfect. I pulled on a Yamaha 1000 2 months ago and there is no better felling than that. Also I finally got the axle out and it was snapped again "inner stub drivers side" If anyone is upgrading axles the ford performance are a step down from gforce outlaw axles and are both made by the same company ford just put there name on it and charged more for less.
