What will make both wheels turn instead of one?
 
I own a 95 3.8 mustang that wants to spin out when turning a corner. I think this will also give me a little more acceleration of the line, but it could not do anything. The tires are getting old, but what do i need to get in order for both tires to move at the same time?

The easiest way would be to get a rear end out of a GT. They come with posi.

Well i have a set of 8.8 3.73 gears sitting in my room, just waiting on some more cash so i can pay someone to install them. Would that take car of the problem? That is the sam size as the GT right?

you have a 7.5 rear end those gears will not work. Do like Dark said and get a rear end out of a GT. The 7.5 does not have posi so only one tire spins. As long as you get a GT with a good diff. in it it will not spin just one tire.

Ok. So i get the diff. out of the GT. That is a 8.8 right? Then i can keep the gears i have now instead of exchanging them back for a 7.5? Sorry to sound like a rookie to all this stuff, but this is a hobby of mine, not something i have a lot of knowledge about. However i have learned a great deal from this 3.8 mustang message board. God-stang, you have given this website a great deal of your time, and i thank you for all your help. Your from akien S.C. right? I live in florence S.C. Your not too far away from me man.
Peace

hey man no prob. Ya just get a 8.8 out of a 1994-1998 gt/cobra and you will be fine with keeping the gears. I swapped my 1994 7.5 out for a 1996 8.8 gt. I put a Aluminum Drive shaft in with it also. Good luck man. If you have anymore questions please ask.
