You going to do anything to it while you got it craked open? New gears perhaps? Or since it's out of the car entirely just throw in a TC rear end from the TC at the junk yard?

I'd disagree with that, I had a 7.5 Trac-Loc in my Mustang Dominator, raced it off an on for over 2 years, with several different kinda of tires (but no slicks) the rear held up till I sold it, and he drove it for 3 more years, with no problems..
I ran the piss out of it, too
Maybe I had a good one, I dunno :giggle:

I have almost 350 HP in my yellow 86' cougar and my 7.5 has had no issues at all. It's posi traction though, so maybe that helps a bit, and I've banged it pretty hard sometimes. Of course, I don't hit it hard everytime i drive either, it's always the AOD that goes out on me. The 7.5 w/4.10's are up for sale by the. I'm switching over to the 5 lug 8.8, but not because of the 7.5 rear. If interested, let me know.

Those little round things are the clutches and steals from the t loc.

I've gone through two 7.5" s with a stock '86 TC/w 5spd. The 7.5=suck.
