Hey guys, I've recently had my auto transmission rebuilt in my 5.0L XLS ute, due to the fact it imploded on itself, Ford wanted to swap $3K with me for a reconditioned one and i decided i could get a better price. So i did a few ring arounds and found a place called (insert cheap plug here) Top Quality Transmission 94440181. For just over $3k they've rebuilt my 'box to the same specs as the gearbox in Simons Typhoon from XFT, which is putting out 700 odd HP. Overkill i know, at least i know the box isnt going to **** itself again. While it was out i got a 2500-2800 stall converter fitted and an adjustable shift kit fitted also.
Now i've read here in the forums about how peoples cars have behaved with similar mods to what i've got and they all seem to get plenty of wheel spin from stalling it up. Now i cannot for the life of me get any sort of wheelspin, when i say wheelspin i mean on fast accelerations (of course im going to test out the stally and shift kit). I'm curious why this might be? I'm figuring its either i got pretty damn good traction or my diff isn't transfering the power down properly, it is a LSD if that makes a difference. So any opinions or ideas would be greatly appreciated Cheers Chad |

Hi Buddy.The fact that you have an lsd makes a world of difference.My wagon in single spinner mode would just sit there spinning many times on acceleration.Since redoing the diff to lsd I cant say it spins all the time anymore but it definately goes forward . The wagon sometimes does still spin but I want my diff to last a long time so I dont mistreat it.
