Got .5 of my recently bought items.
These are in PERFECT condition. I was a little weary about they having chips or nicks, but there is not a single mark on them... They look brand new actually. Im definitly pretty pumped to get them in now... Im not sure if my posi is getting sent here on my parents house. So far my plan is as soon as it gets close to spring Im getting them in... but well see. |
Im glad they are in good shape man
|
looks great paarmang
|
Found out the posi was shipped to my parents today... so that should be there by the end of the week. I just emailed my friend to find out when I can get it done.
|
lucky you get a posi while i got a non-posi what all did you have to get to switch yours to a posi?
|
I rather have my limited slip diff's, posi would be good for drag racing, your gonna find turning is gonna be a ******
|
why how fast do you turn ?
|
ahaha, fast enough.

And I doubt Im gonna spin out turning unless the road is coated in sand or ice. |
Oh, wow im dumb, i though posi was straight axle rotation with out limited slip to where only the rear wheels went in one direction instead of that wierd opposite wheel turning stuff...Sorry i got confused.
|
So just curious, what else am I going to need for this install?
I found out Ill need a Bearing/install kit and axle seals, lube (Im guessing this is gear oil, or do I need some other kind of lube?) Also, for the bearing/install kit and axle seals, do I have to search for specific ones, or just generic 4th gen camaro? TIA. |
posi is NOT limited slip. just want to clear than up.
paar i hope you've done a rear end before, or youre working with someone who has. unfortunately its not as straightforth as it seems. i wish it was too. youre going to need an install kit. i got one from yukon. had carrier bearings, pinion bearings, axle bearings, shims, crush sleeve, pinion seal and nut and new ring gear bolts (be careful, theyre reverse thread). then you need 2 quarts of gear oil and a bottle of limited slip additive. you dont need a gasket, use silicone. and as for what you need to get it for, GM 7.5/7.625 10 bolt rear end. you can also search for it as 96 camaro, wont make a difference. |

Is somthing like this what Im looking for? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...5154237&rd=1,1 So this information is wrong? I was under the impression that a posi is a type of LSD... Isnt that what this says? Limited Slip Differentials Limited Slip Differentials (LSD for short) are an attempt to remedy the problems that an open differential has when the drive wheels do not have the same traction. This applies not only during launches, but also in cornering. The two types of mechanical LSDs are Clutch Based and Gear Based. There is a fluid based LSD known as a Viscous Coupling, and there are Electronically controlled LSDs, but neither will be covered as there are none for available for our applications. Clutch Based These are the more common types of LSDs and were produced much earlier than the gear based type. Different manufacturers marketed them differently, but Chevrolet’s label of Positraction became the most famous and so clutch based are often affectionately referred to as “posi.” During typical operation, posi performs like an open differential and is similar in construction. But there are a few important differences. Within the differential there are two clutches, one for each side gear, and a mechanism to detect slip and apply the gears to the clutches. When one wheel begins to slip, the spring pack applies force on the side gear of the wheel with traction and it is pressed against the clutch. The clutch is connected to the cage, and the friction generated increases the torque applied to the wheel with traction. The extra torque applied is proportional to the force needed to overcome the clutch, which in turn depends on the clutch and the stiffness of the spring. But the main limitation of the clutch differential is that you are still losing torque in this situation, but fortunately not nearly as much as with an open differential. Additionally, the clutch operation may not always be seamless, which could lead to some suspense around corners. Lastly, another limitation is that the clutches will eventually wear out. You may have heard of 1, 1.5, or 2 way differentials. In a 1 way differential, the center cam is designed in such a way that it can apply the gear to the clutch only under acceleration. In a 1.5 way, it can apply in both acceleration and deceleration, but takes twice as much slip to apply during deceleration. A 2 way provides the same limited slip effect in acceleration and deceleration (although typically it is a little less during deceleration). Eaton and Auburn make popular clutch based differentials that tend to be very durable. One of the reason clutch based units are still produced is that there are a wide variety of units rated to take the torque in high power applications. |
Are you going to need a tune?

|
yeah my old roomate had his off forever.. its not a big deal, just need to know how fast youre going.
|
positraction is LSD
|
my speedo has also been way off lol. are those 3.42's paar or what?
|
usually you can find out how much its off by going past one of those speedometer radars to show you your speed. If you can find one.

ive seen acurate ones, i was going 25mph in the escalade by one and it said 25mph
|
usually its the speedo gear that gets changed, i don't think you would need an ecu tune.... right??

I've gone by some that jump around and say I'm speeding up when I've got my foot on the brake. |

Someone... anyone. Can you please let me know if this is what I need... The auction is ending soon.
|
By the description, it sounds like it is the right one. Glancing through Summit, it looks like there is only one part number for the 8.5" GM rear ends through a few different companies. So...I don't think you can go wrong.
|
Sorry Paar, i'd rather not say anything than say the wrong thing ;)
|
Thats okay.
Thanks Gentner |
sooooo did ya get it?
|
The what?
I have the gears here... The posi got sent to my parents house. I wont see it until christmas... :( |
ah dang that sucks eh oh well
|
Good thing I re-read the ad before bidding... It was for an 8.5 rear. So I found a few to choose from on ebay.
Any idea how much yours was from Yukon caleb? Theyre sites under construction and I cant find any prices. |
yea sweet breeeeh
