hmm.. look at these gear marks

pelley · February 10th, 2012, 01:49 PM

i decided its time to rebuild my differential, transmission was redone and the diff had a good whine to it so i popped it out, goign to go from 3.73 to 4.10's anyway.. take a look at what i found, this carrier has some nice marks in it lol..

FastStang91Lx · February 10th, 2012, 02:41 PM

That went bad!

selbyvince · February 10th, 2012, 03:54 PM

i bet it did have a whine to it lol, surprised it was a grinding sound lol

pelley · February 10th, 2012, 04:51 PM

Yea shit was loud. I'm think now I have to buy another carrier.

..

ryanw · February 10th, 2012, 05:38 PM

Is that from the 3:73 or from some thing a long time ago ?

FastStang91Lx · February 10th, 2012, 05:40 PM

Good time to find an explorer carrier and upgrade to 31 spline if you race it at all.

pelley · February 10th, 2012, 05:48 PM

The pinion gear slipped loose and tore up the carrier. Considering I cannot use the pinion I figured I'd up my gear ratio, which is what I want for my application. And I was thinking of getting a mini spool..

horsepowerjunkie · February 10th, 2012, 07:34 PM

+1 on the Explorer carrier. I bought one off of ebay for $65, put fresh clutches in it and some used $150 Moser 31 spline axles in my 82 Capri. Now I don't worry so much when I do 6K clutch drops with slicks!

Anyone have anything good to say about motive gears? I'd personally prefer Ford racing but I can get a good deal on motives ...

FastStang91Lx · February 10th, 2012, 11:47 PM

I read something semi recently about someone saying something bad about ford racing gears, but I don't remember what it was, or if it was even credible. Just an FYI, but may not be true.

Just get the FRPP for $150 on American Muscle, IMO.

pelley · February 11th, 2012, 04:23 PM

im having the hardest time finding an open carrier, craigslist nope ebay nope, local junkyards nope.. 31 splines are plentiful but i dont have the budget to upgrade plus axles ATM. anyone have any ideas.?

FastStang91Lx · February 11th, 2012, 04:27 PM

I'm not sure on this, but can all the guts of your diff just be transferred over? Or are the 31 spine gears actually larger?

pelley · February 11th, 2012, 04:33 PM

gears yea they interchange but, i have 5 lugs to id have to buy new 31 spline axles as well as the cost of a 31 spline carrier and spider gears inside. so the present time, it would be better for me to buy an open carrier made for 28 splines rather than buy a new carrier and 2 new axles lol

FastStang91Lx · February 11th, 2012, 04:38 PM

No, no, no.... the spider gears. Can't you just transfer your guts to a different, non marred carrier? Whether or not it has 31 spline or not. Just take it apart.

pelley · February 11th, 2012, 04:41 PM

I don't believe so. I think they require new gears

musclemerc · February 11th, 2012, 04:45 PM

The spider gears are interchangable.

OP I have a Ford 28 spline LSD carrier that I'm not using.PM me if you want it on the cheap

I went 31 spline.

pelley · February 11th, 2012, 04:55 PM

Pm sent. I was told that you needed new spider gears?

musclemerc · February 11th, 2012, 09:29 PM

Complete 28 spline replacement carrier is on its way.

Good Luck!
