rear-end swap/traction control help

[rdoms6]

i have traction control now and the rear-end that i might get does not have tc. is this going to cause a problem other than not have traction control any more. will it have any effects on the computer.

Re: rear-end swap/traction control help

i think you will lose ABS in both situations. A 3 channel has a single speed sensor that reads a reluctor ring next to the ring gear. The 4 channel has two sensors/tone rings per axle.

I don't think TC came on V6's....but I could be wrong.

I went through a swap and had to match it up correctly otherwise I would oose ABS, so that's what could happen with the wrong rear.

Re: rear-end swap/traction control help

or how bout you just install a posi into your current rear, instead of trying to make two different designs fit together?

Re: rear-end swap/traction control help

Re: rear-end swap/traction control help

not really. If you're planning on buying this rear axle, which is what your heart seems set on, just take the posi unit out and put it in your car. Also, with higher gears, you'll need to recalibrate your shift points if you're an auto, and you'll need to adjust the speedo regardless of tranny type.
