[QUOTE="nosympathy, post: 13224612, member: 151682"] which part are you asking about? Switching the cover? I did it to help with heat. My car is a DD mostly and the diff gets hella hot. The finned cover is great and I got it from a guy I buy my parts from because he sells them hella cheap. He isn't a vendor on here so I won't mention him. I know beefcake says he is the cheapest but I would bet they are on par with pricing and I know the other guy. Beefcake lives on the other side of town from me though. lol. The aftermarkter rear diff covers, the better ones, also make the axle more rigid. Which is nice. The finned ones help with heat. Also the steeda finned cover has fill and drain plugs in the front. Clutch engagment was always kinda rough and bouncy after having my gears replaced and the diff filled with royal purple from the factory fill. I maybe put 15K miles on the car with royal purple and it never got better. Was royal purple and a bottle of ford racing friction modifier. I just started to assume it was the gears. I then about a month ago switched the cover and the fill fluid since the bad shifting was getting worse feeling. Felt like the car would start to engage and then bang and then engage again. I replaced the diff cover and added redline per the guy I buy froms recommendation as it is what he runs in his Boss 302. The driveline bounce went away and all shifts are smooth. So it was either the axle housing was flexing and the boss diff cover stopped the flex(doubt it) or the fluid change. I did 3 bottles of redline fluid and one bottle of Ford xl-3 friction modifier. Even with the two piece drive shift the drive line is extremely smooth now. amsoil might be just as good, I just got the redline stuff for cost which was hella cheaper than I could get amsoil even with the discounting that everyone wants to be PMd about so I took advantage of it. I was going to put amsol in my trans, but leaning towards redline now after the diff improvement since I know they are good. [/QUOTE]
