HEY,I have a 7.5 3.45 geared traction Lock rear you can HAVE for free if you want to come and pick it up ( I'm going to use the 8.8 Stang rear I bought).This rear never gave me any problems at all.As a matter of fact,it's the rear that was in Old Blue in the burnout shot in the banner above.I have to make room in the garage,and it really needs to go.I'm down here in Ardmore (a little over an hour drive).It'll bolt right in.It needs the brakes,brake lines and wheel cylinders(which you can use from your current rear)and that's it.If you are interested,let me know and I'll get directions for you.

Both of the Traction Lock rears are gone.I hauled them to the s yard two weeks ago and sold them with the rest of my s pile for $$.I was running out of space in a big way.There's a Turbo Coupoe with a disc rear at D&H auto salvage here in Ardmore.I don't know how much he'd charge,though.There's also two of them in Durant Oklahoma at one of the yards.I can't remember the name,but it's on 9th street.Information can find the number if you need to call.Just tell them a  salvage yard on 9th.It's J&H or something like that.I kept the Traction Lock rears  as long as I could.Sorry.I have a 2.73 TL rear in my Bird I'll be pulling out soon.I don't know if that will help you or not.

so far the biggest i can find for a 7.5 is 4.56.  i'll keep digging.

edit*  richmond gear part # 6903481

that's the ring and pinion that you need.

then you still need the install kit.  part # 8310451

just find a decent 7.5 rear end and you're set.

i found tons of gear ratios for the 7.5 rear ends for $200 or less on ebay under mustang 7.5 and the biggest gears for a 7.5 that i have seen is 5.13. i just need a traction lock complete rear end basically then put my 5.13s in . what is the differences between the auburn and track lock.

I don't know.If you can wait just a few weeks,you can have my TL rear that's in my car now.It has 2.73's in it,but it is in great shape,then,you can put your gears in it.No charge if you can wait.I'll let you know when I swap mine.
