T-lock help

htndab0ng · November 29th, 2006, 10:12 AM

What does t-Lock do exactly? Meaning like how does it work and will you still be able to spin just it wont be a one tire fryer it will be bolth tires spinning? And Does any one know a good place to bet t-lock for kinda cheap

AtlanticBlue99 · November 29th, 2006, 10:14 AM

it is a clutch assy. in the rear end that locks axles in straight line and opens in corners to allow outer wheel to spin faster. try ebay at Drivetrain Specialists for an frpp t lok at a good price

htndab0ng · November 29th, 2006, 10:29 AM

How hard would it be to put in, can you spin bolth tires?

Don't do it yourself. Get a pro to do it, and yes it will make you be able to spin both wheels.

if all you wanna do is spin both wheels I wouldn't waste money on t-lok just start your burn out and turn your wheel slightly away from the tire not turning and it will start to burn. If you want t-lok for the other advantages like better traction and launches get it.

also if your thinking about getting it just to burn out think that your tires will wear out faster (not from burning out) because when you go around a corner both wheels are spinning but with the stock differentials when you turn one wheel slows down (thats why when you burn out only one wheel spins)

this is not true exactly. the outer wheel unlocks in turns and spins quicker in a t-lok, posi, or lsd rear diff.

you have to have a locked rear to burn both tires at the same time. and a shop or someone with rear end shimming experience should install.

this will not burn both at the same time, he needs a t lok or another form of rear end locker for straight line burning of both wheels. i would not buy t lok for the burn out, but the traction is awesome, burnouts are a side effect

im not getting into another arguement with you but with any positive rear end (when both tires spin) you are going to get greater tire wear when you make turns

no you wont! the tlok, posi, and lsd rears open up in corners. end of argument. do some damn research!

true locked rears are always locked, posi is t lok is lsd is known as LIMITED slip

see no one told me that t-lok was limited slip...i asumed that it was positive....but limited slip will open up on corners that is what stock differentials do.....

AtlanticBlue99 · November 29th, 2006, 03:55 PM

Code:

But a limited-slip really is designed for street use, since it literally will slip so that it can send more power to one rear wheel when you're going around a corner.

t lok is the same as limited slip is the same as posi trac- they are different names for the exact same differential. as long as no misinformation is spread, it is all good. just to make things clear:

LSD, Posi, and T Lok are streetable locking differentials

trueballerisme · November 29th, 2006, 04:07 PM

232stang · November 29th, 2006, 04:12 PM
