Brooks: I'm no rear-end guy(in ANY way--get your mind out of the gutter Gator
) but I agree, those gears look great with almost no wear showing.
Which weight oil did you go with? Where are the clutches(I don't know what they look like.)? I think mine are going/gone out as the left wheel doesn't want to rotate in a burnout.

since you mentioned my previous post on the jdm billet cover installation.
i should add something.
I believe in my original post I indicated that I did not reinstall any friction modifier with the gear oil.
This is something that I have done MANY times in the past while doing mustang gear swaps.
However on the truck I developed a shudder when accelerating and turning at the same time.
I had to go back in and drain the oil and refill it with friction modifier this time.
I attribute this to my truck having VERY low miles at the time of the install. I think that clutches that had been running in friction modifier for a longer period of time would have been fine, mine were just too new and hadn't had enough "soak" time.
later,
chris

Or even worse, when something that should take a couple of hours, takes 4 and 5X as long
