Ford 8.8 limited slip clutches

Post by Scott Cee AKA 2drx4 »

So the limited slip in my 8.8 feels pretty weak by hand. I'll probably leave it alone and wait until I see if it works before I do anything. However, there is rebuild clutches for it.

Available on Rockauto:

Not super cheap. I'm assuming the more you pay the more you play.

Is there anything else out there? Any experience with any of these?

Also, there is a Ford Racing kit on Amazon, P/N M4700C for about $270 Prime. Carbon disks, good reviews, looks like it fits the Exploder. What's not to hate?

The Yukon ones, P/N YPKF8.8-PC, are also on there for $183. Commentors say they are "just as good" as the Ford racing ones. Hmm.

They're all roughly the same. The trick is to cram more clutches in there. Should be a write up on a mustang forum somewhere.

Carbon probably lasts longer if you're getting it real hot, I guess?

So buy the cheap ones and try to jam them in with the ones that are already there? :homer:
