If there's nothing else wrong with the rear end, I'd focus on changing the transmission first. I ran a 4L60E with the stock 2.41 gears for a little while before I swapped them and it ran fine. It never went into 4th gear though.

with overdrive you would be cruising 90 mph at 2000 rpm with the 241 gear... the 2004r is going to cost some bucks I'm going to see if the transmission guy will let me work off the dept with my labor when ever he is shorthanded

i don't know how the torson feels never drove one i;m not racing her just trying to fix the one tire spin i googled [ torson posi burnout ] some said they get a one wheel spin . the ford 9 ; mustang 8.8 and 8 1/2 gn are too pricy

Be ready to drive when the tires brake loose. The torsen does not apply an even amount of power to each wheel and it changes based on wheel load. It will want to turn you around.

i have rear alot of people like the torsen now i have read that one wheel will spin sometimes sounds like it bad for drifting i haven't made a turn like that in a long time but it was fun when i did

If I recall correct Chrysler Suregrip units are a cone clutch unit which is basically an Auburn limited slip unit. GM used them for years only downfall is they are not rebuildable. I've ran many stock Auburn units and one pro series which had a tighter lock up on it that would easily chatter street tires under light load. Good units but wear out quickly with drag radials.

I;m assuming all the g body and camaro factory posi were auburn except the torsen am i correct ? a mechanic i know that use to race said
i;ll be good because i have under 300 horse power not like i have 500 hp. so i assuming i can;t try drifting around corners . do you think red light to red light be ok ?

From what I understand from folks who years back worked at Chevy Delavan (Buffalo Axle plant) they did on the A/G bodys use the "Borg-Warner" design which then became Auburn. Cone clutch style. The Torsen came into play in the early 2000's for certain Camaro's. Folks I knew had retired by then. Many of the S10/S15 as well as the 1/2 ton trucks came with the Eaton Gov-Lock when the G80 option was chosen. (Still used today) The Auburn is a great unit and I have used many if them. Used ones run the risk of being worn out but can still be purchased new. The Borg-Warner/Auburn was the design Mopar used for their cone clutch SureGrip.
