the " posi unit " in your mustang is actually called a trac lock and it is rebuildable, what happens is the clutches inside wear out and causes the dreaded 1 wheel peel, you can get new clutches for it and repack them yourself for probably 50 bucks or so plus the cost of gear oil ( and the friction modifier )

I have never rebuilt one honestly.. it can't be that hard.. there aren't too many parts in it.

a rebuild kit is like $50.00 or so.

I'll take a look for it it my garage .. Best I can do on send out time would be this Saturday honestly.. I work 6am to 6pm except on weekends.


It "should" be less than $20.00 to ship.

it's not light.

I'll let you know what it costs though.
