- The Stock Clutch Packs were smoked from the hard hitting Launches so it was time to pull the Diff and Upgrade to something much better for a Fraction of the Price of the Eaton TrueTrac

I suddenly am not so intimidated from a 5th gen Diff Swap
Nice, I had installed a ford 8.8 S spring in my rear when rebuilt my clutch packs. Both wheels feels like a locker
That's what we installed too haha I should've thrown that in there. Feels like a locker for sure sometimes. I love it
I have a zl1 differential for my ss that I need to install. Thanks for posting this video
Absolutely! That ZL1 is beefy
damn man im a 5th gen owner from jersey too, huge motivation for my build be safe brother
Informative bro thanks
Thanks for sharing nice homemade shop !
Awesome. I'll be saving this one
Thanks for the video, I have to do one of these later in the week, this really helped ,,,,,THANK YOU
Would’ve been nice to say what tools are needed as you used em. Going into this tomorrow with no clue as to what I need to bring with me.
🔥🔥🔥🤟
how do you like those clutch packs? too aggressive for the street? did you later on add more friction modifier?
Clutch packs have been awesome. Only time you can tell how tight they are is when you are backing out of the driveway slowly and wheels turned, then it feels like a spool. Which I don't mind. Other than that you can't tell. Its really an experiment right now to see how long they last vs the more expensive Eaton option. I didn't add any more no. Just threw Lucas Synthetic Rear Diff Fluid in from the start
Do u have to do all this to remove the cover or just by removing the exhaust will be fine ? Need to change the Rear Axle Housing Cover Gasket
You probably just have to remove the exhaust and the rear cover bolt for that
Nice video. How does that Camaro Central clutch kit compare to stock? Do you know how much preload it has?
Im installing a set. They recommend 300# but can go up to 400#. Not sure if thats too tight?
I'm not sure exactly the number because No Time Racecars did the install but I know it was pretty tight. If you have the wheels turned and start to go it feels like a locker for a second before it unlocks lol I love how the bite
Can you post a video of the 140 pull now
Soooooo I tried to do a back to back pull 3.27 vs 3.91s buttt the car doesn't hit 140mph anymore. It topped out at 120mph at the top of 4th and didn't wanna shift into 5th being an overdrive gear
Man making me some 2nd thoughts about doing 3.91 gears my setup is pretty similar to yours
@@locdog957 I wouldn't. I'm making a vid how I actually went slower with the gears and 60ft, 330, 1/8 and 1/4 were all slower. I'm going back to 3.27s
what size tools? especially the axle nut socket size?
Is there anything different from auto and manual
Yeah Auto is 3.27 Diff and Manual is 3.45
Wait sorry if i sound stupid but i can buy the 3.91 gear and have someone install it?
Yessir
yes
What's the symptoms of a bad one does it make a grinding noise and wont drivr
Mine was just worn and slipping Clutches at the track on hard launches. It was quiet tho. I just saw footage of my launches and it was acting like slipping Clutch symptoms
@@The1st60ft oh cause I have mine when I put it to gear it sounds like is grinding
what clutch kit did you use and has it held up?
Camaro Central Carbon Clutches. Still holding up great 👍
How much power are you making? Also how much power will it hold
It's not really about power but the torque hit that the Clutches can handle. It'll hold 450whp with the stock stall but it was slipping hard with 450whp with a big Converter multiplying torque
@@The1st60ft sorry, i forget it’s torque is the rating of failure. I’m just curious cause I’m supercharging my Camaro and am looking into beefing up the axles and differential.
Who's that handsome assistant? Lol
Sounds mean
What is the price for that upgraded diff ?
Carbon Steel Clutch Pack with shims goes for $229 plus installation vs $900 Eaton TruTrac plus installation
How you get the eaton tru trac to work with the 3.91 gears
Ohhhh youre saying an uograde as good as true trac!!
@@noahsimmons4107 haha yeah
How long did this take ?
The first time took a few hours. Maybe 3 But I don't rush. I like to take my time. Now I can swap it in about 1 hour on a lift
I'm assuming this is on a SS?
Yes
You will be doing this job over and over until you get a Eaton Truetrac.
@jimmyfreeze3782 4 years later and still haven't done it "over and over" lmao you're that know-it-all dude on the forums aren't ya?
