Spooled Rear?

**Zip4747** · 2012-04-06, 17:36

Can a Spooled rear section be turned into a posi-trac or limited slip without much trouble?

yes you just remove the spool and put a limited slip carrier in. you will need to transfer the ring gear and bearings or put new bearings in.

The carrier does need set-up, adjusted, not just throwed in.
