Im looking for some kind of traction kit. Chevy has posi and ford has the trac lok , does anyone know of a positive traction kit so that both wheels will catch. I hate limited slip.
Buy the way i have a 92 stealth R/T 5 speed.



Thanx rex

 

I don't know what the deal is with your limited slip....obviously I don't have it... My car is a '99 base model too... so I don't know

 

im not sure if there is a sort of quiaffe you can get for the awd? i would think someone HAS to make some sort of locking differential....

 

These cars have what is known as an open differential, ie, one tire will be the "torque" tire. You can get a limited slip insert (a quaiffe as Patrick mentioned) that will do a much better job distributing power to your front wheels. I believe it is the same one as DSM use. (basically the same trannies).

You can have a piece welded in the transaxle to make it a positrac, but every day drivability will be greatly compromised. It will put an undo amount of stress on the tranny and cause it to wear out much faster (when turning, the wheels rotate at different speeds, you will cook internals)

 

stealth..i know that for my buddys newly turbo'd 95 sebring, there is a more ghetto way to making it a closed diff...a "panther", or something liek that? a spring system that holds everything closed under power and works by means of the motion of the diff.?

 

What you're looking for is a sperr differential or a torsen differential. Both systems are ok, but for the street I would recommend using the torsen since it is much more corner friendly. Sperr is OK, but you'll need not to over pre-torque it or else you will having hard times at sharp corners. Torsen works on the wheel spining speed ratio difference- if one of the driven wheels turns much faster than the other (loosing power to this wheel) than the centrifugal force due to the rotational speed difference will close the differential so you'll have two driven wheel instead of only one. Here in Hungary one torsen costs around 1,000 USD for an EVO6, but I saw many internet pages selling these goodies in America.

 

Here is the ghetto way of doing it on a 3kgt. SpeedFreak racing

It is reported to work well, but I have no personal experience with them.
