ford racing t-lock

stang300a · July 16th, 2007, 07:06 AM

for my next mod i was thinking about going with 4.10s and a t-lock (i have an auto). i have two concerns tho. first i drive on the highway weekly for about 2 1/2 hours and was wondering what my idle would be at going 70mph and 80mph. right now at 80 mph im idling at 2500rpms. second i read some where that the ford racing t-lock requires clutch replacing every 30K miles or so. is that right and how much to replace that?

the tlock wont require clutch replacement every 30k miles provided after you install it about 2 weeks later after youve broken it in you get your gear oil changed to flush out the metal shavings the break in proses produced. I have a ford racing im putting in. and go here this will calculate all your rpm's for you http://www.svtoa-atlanta.org/cgi-bin/trans.cgi

1-5 mpg thats about it are most ppl findings really depends how u give her shit its not a big difference like most ppl r saying i mean it is performance wise but your only sitting about 600 rpm higher then usual with your stock gears

why is it when i use that calculator it says i drop speed/power with 3.73 compared to 3.27

i thought that i had the t-5 but it doesn't have the sixer option is it the same as the last years of the 5.0?

anyways oddly enough people say they see an increase in stop and go driving... just because it makes the car get to speed easier/quicker

flattusmaximus78 · July 16th, 2007, 08:45 PM

Your rpms should be around 2700... maybe a tad higher. I have 4:10's and t-lok myself.

my friend has 4.10s and t-lock, He said he gets slightly better city mpg.

because when you put in lower gears you raise your rpms and when you do that your top speed will decrease

flattusmaximus78 · July 17th, 2007, 12:27 AM

70 ish yeah.

it will probably last longer then u have the car providing you maintain the gear oil in the diff. after the install and a 2 week break in period of nice driving but not to abusive. change the gear oil clean out any metal shavings ofcourse there will be a bit. and then fill it back up.

CyberPrey · July 17th, 2007, 11:31 AM

And if you really want to see that last the lifetime of the car, I can not state enough times that you want to do preventative maint on it... and its just a simple matter of changing the gear oil in the back now and then....

100% correct every 15-20k changethat oil with some fresh stuff keeps the metal shavings from working there way into a bearing or bearing cup.

:S

that sounds terrible, with stock gears my RPMs are at 1600 going 70mph.

CyberPrey · July 17th, 2007, 12:18 PM

LOL, if you think thats horrible, try driving a '70 GTO with a 4.10 in it....

2700-2800 at 70 is not bad at all, its well within tolerance for the motor, and your gains in power/acceleration outweigh the loss of mpg and higher rpms....

stang300a · July 17th, 2007, 02:01 PM

thanks for all the help and im convinced. my next mod is going to be 4.10s and gears.
