Hi,
I just read an older post in SVTperformance forum about broken Torsen posi units in solid axle cars.
I would like to know if the Eaton TruTrac and WaveTrac center sections fit the 8.8 IRS? I have a 2016 performance pack GT that came with 3.73's and Torsen posi.
I had 3.31 gears put in mine at 500 miles. RSX clutch and Carbon Fiber driveshaft at 650 miles. I installed a Whipple stage2 at 780 miles. I am pretty sure that I broke the Torsen at 1023 miles on the street with stock tires during 1-2 shift. The car smoked the drivers side tire only after a big bang. It drove home without noise when straight but popped and clunked badly in turns.
I already have the high end Ford half shafts and Steeda rear braces but I got impatient and wanted to drive it a little before putting them in. I guess some wheel hop at the shift probably broke a gear tooth.
A little surprised I broke it on the street with the stock tires and exhaust.
