limited slip interchange?

The rear axle I used for my swap is supposed to be a ls but I think the clutches are shot. I acts like an open diff. The clutches in the old one were in great shape. My question is, will the clutches out of the 3:55 rtear work in the 4:10? Both are 10.25 Ford axles and both are out of an 86.

Shame youre in kentucky or id just buy the 3.55 LS off ya lol. Other than that... no idea on cluctches, but theoretically the whole imited slip assembly should come out and bolt in your other axle.

I am looking for a limited slip unit. When searching all that ever appears to matter is the rear end you have not the gears. By the way the one you have that the clutches are bad would you like to sell it. I am looking for one it would be cheaper to buy yours and replace the clutches in it. I just want the locker not the whole rear end.

As long as the one out of the 3:55 will fit in the current one I would sell it. I will let you know when I find out more.

it will fit but u will have to change to the 4 10 ring gear . you also will have to reset the back lash for the axle

Ford 10.25" Differential Clutch Kits

randy ring and pinion has rebuilt for the factory track lock. it would be a better option imho

With money tight right now I think I will just use the set out of the old rear. They still worked as they should. Knowing the po of the parts truck, I figure he didn't use a friction modifier oil in it.
