Parts needed for gears & tlok

Womkeith · March 23rd, 2011, 09:45 PM

I'm about to order the t-lok & 3.37s off american muscle. I'm not doing the install myself, but are there any other parts I should buy online that are needed for install.
(outside of the tuner)

Thanks

Gear Oil, install kit/hardware kit, gears and the t-lok -- off the top of my head

All this. I believe there is also an additive for limited slip differential but I can't think of the proper name for it at the moment. The shop I had do my tlok and gears had the stuff on-hand.

Have fun with the gears man! Tell us how they feel!

Just curious man, is this a typo? Stock gear ratio is 3.27 so I'm hoping you meant 3.73 gears

Yes sir, that's the install/rebuild kit you need

Congrats! Just got mine and you will love it. Can't explain how much it improves things. Causes the exhaust to growl at everything all the time.
And yes- Motive bearing kit is needed and Ford Racing friction modifier, synthetic gear oil for differential, and Mobil1 automatic trans fluid for transmission.

Bingo! That's the additive I mentioned. I'm just not doing so great with words tonight

Wow perfect timing on the post, I was just looking to do the same w/ mine. Spring is right around the corrner. Hopefully, snowing as I type this in CT.

Tlok is a little nicer for snow than the stock differential. Although I've almost put my car in a ditch while shifting into 3rd at 25mph while slipping the clutch and easing onto the gas. Fresh snow is nasty. We got a little flurry over here in Iowa this evening

Yeah, my Tlok definitely made a difference in the snow. I was able to drive thru about 4 inches of snow this winter and was shocked by this since I have 3.73's.

No need for the additive with the Royal purple gear oil.

@OP They may need axle grease but that depends on how nice the shop is. Also get an extra 2 bottles of gear oil because its good to change it after the 500 mile break-in period. (Which reminds me I need to also change it, because its been 900 miles since the gears were added in mine and im lazy.)

Word of advice: dont get the speedo recall tool is sucks...

I try to never drive mine in the snow. Drive the wife's SUV whenever it snows. I did have to once when there was about maybe 2 inches and that was fun.

Ever since try hard as hell not to, plus I don't trust the other idiots on the road.
