Took it to the track last night to see how it does over here in Tx. - noticed very poor traction even though the track was prepped pretty good. Got back in the pits and saw rubber on the driver's side, but none on the passenger side...............uh oh. Went back up to the line and when I did my burnout - only the driver's side is spinning - so now it's time for either a rebuild or go ahead and put in the DTT. Still weighing my options............it worked perfectly the last time I had it to the track over in La.

Thing that is strange to me is that every other limited slip I've ever had wear out, the passenger side is the side that keeps the power.......this one just has to be different.

Also noticed that my boost was falling off - black dust on the blower snout, but I've got the idler kit to fix that.

Sounds like you already got it planned out. Sucks that the diff had to go. But just an excuse to up grade. lol

Im in the same boat you are. My passenger side is the one that spins. Will be upgrading to a TT. Im not very big on rebuilding the limited slip.

Yep - said to heck with it and ordered a DTT from LFP just a couple of minutes ago - no use wasting money rebuilding the trac-loc and then having to do it again later on.

DTT here also. Warning though, it's a gorgeous piece of metal and you may have a hard time installing something that beautiful.:lol:
