Im trying to locate where to get the clutches for the sterling/ford 10.25 limited slip rear end, i will be rebuilding it this summer along with the rest of my suspension if i can locate the clutches.

bronco graveyard list several different types for the 10.25 rear end, im assuming mine is stock, doesn't look like there have ever been any changes made to it. so how do i know which ones i need without getting it disassembled already, i don't want to tear it down unless i know i have all the parts available to get it back together, i really dont want to get everything tore down to find out that parts are no longer made.

here is a link to bronco graveyards site where the different clutch sets are listed.

1980-96 Ford Truck/Bronco 10.25" Differentials & Parts - Rear Axle Ford 10.25"

if anyone has done this before and has a better source please feel free to share it im open to any source as long as they are reputable and parts are of quality.

 

I also found them by yukon at summit racing, so ill probably go that route unless someone can give me some good reviews on bronco graveyards clutches.

I would just spend a little more coin and put a detroit tru trac in it. It doesnt have clutches to wear out.

 

Is that what you did Gabe? If so, how does it corner?

 

how do they work in these trucks? my truck sees alot of highway miles and i want to be able to corner well too, i mean this thing don't turn on a dime by any means with how long it is but still don't wanna make it any worse

 

Yes thats what i went with. It works just like a limited slip, only it has helical gears. It doesnt feel any different on dry pavement since it is not a locker. Im still getting used to the 4:10 gears though every now and then i take it out of 5th cause i think there should be another gear.

 

I want one of those too, but the stock carrier with clutches will have to do for now.

 

Here is a thread I have bookmarked for the 10.25 LS rebuild. He used Spicer clutches and the p/n was 72960X, the way it looks.

 

Yeah Bill, mine had alot of play in it. I think i showed you that at rre maybe. I needed to match the gears in the front anyway so i went all out.
