How does a Torsen differential differ from a clutch-type limited-slip?

A Torsen differential uses a worm gear friction system that doesn't wear out like the clutch packs in conventional limited-slip differentials. It provides full-time torque sensing and biasing for smoother, more consistent power delivery.

What is the 'T-2' designation and what does the '-2 Type' mean?

The 'T-2' indicates it's a specific model of Torsen differential. The '-2 Type' refers to a particular design iteration of the Torsen differential, known for its smooth engagement and full-time torque-sensing capabilities suitable for performance applications.

What other parts might I need to install this differential?

When installing a new differential, it's recommended to replace the ring and pinion bearings, seals, and potentially the pinion yoke. You'll also need appropriate gear oil and friction modifier if specified by the manufacturer for your application.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to get the most out of your 2000-2001 or 2003-2004 Ford Mustang, especially when it comes to putting power down, this Ford Racing 8.8-inch T-2 Torsen differential is a serious upgrade. It's designed to ensure your engine's power is transferred to the wheels with the best possible traction, whether you're on the street, at the drag strip, or tackling off-road trails.

Unlike traditional clutch-type limited-slip differentials that can wear out over time, the Torsen design uses a worm gear friction system. This means it responds immediately to variable driving conditions, providing full-time torque sensing and biasing. You get smooth engagement and consistent power delivery, so you can count on it to perform when you need it most. This -2 type differential is built for an 8.8-inch ring gear and features 31 splines, making it a robust choice for performance applications.

This differential is a well-built component that will make a noticeable difference in how your Mustang handles acceleration. It's a popular choice for enthusiasts looking for a reliable and effective way to improve traction and performance.
