Posi Versus Mini Spool ...... Help Me!!!

[331TwistedWedge]

Broke my posi unit at the track yesterday ... im debating on putting an auburn mini spool in here ... i just want some opinions on people who are actually using them ... should i ? ... or shouldnt i ? ... car has 23k miles and rarely driven - just to the track and someone weekend cruising ...

thanks for your help ...

Sell that ugly, high mileage, rusty, 15 second turd...I'll give you $1,000 for it...Better yet since we are friends I'll give you $1,100..:lol:

I broke several minispools prior to breaking down and getting a full spool. I ran 10.80's when I did which isn't too far off of your 11.30's.

Ricky..your running 28 spline axles right? If so...either go with a full spool and cclip eliminators or 9" ends...or get a good posi (eaton, auburn pro). I broke 2 31 spline track locks running alot slower than you are before I went with a real spool.

thanks for the input ... i will do the moser route later ... for now im just rebuilding the stocker, but making it a hair stronger ... with the limited driving i do and track time it sees, i should get a year out of it? ...

Ya..just get a traclock rebuild kit..then swap around the clutches and steel disks to add another clutch on each side. It should hold up awhile...till you rip the spider gears out of it:)

just picked the kit up this morning 45.00 ... thats what we planned on doing, switching the clutches around ... i just need to make it through a few test and tunes and the UMTR races and i will be happy ...

hey i need to roll my fenders a hair, im barely rubbing when i make a hard turn with shawn in my car 6'6" 280! ... but it does it when im alone ... what is the safest way to do so? ... pm me if you want ...

Can someone explain a mini-spool to me. I think I know what you're refering to, but not up on the mustang termology.

Is it a piece that locks both axles together, that fits inside a convential carrier, where the side gears and spiders would go?

If you go that route, why not just go with a regular spool.

Personally, I'd stay away from the spool. But of course I like pushing my car through turns, and with a spool I'd end getting the red flashing text, "WRONG WAY" in my eyes like video games. hahahah.
