I am looking at buying a new rear gear set from TJ on ebay. From what I have read he is a reputable seller with a good product.

I am looking for some advice on whether or not I should upgrade to the true trac clutchless posi ($225 upgrade cost), or just go with the regular trac loc unit.

I called TJ and he made it sound like the regular trac loc would work great for me and my application which is mainly street, very occasional track, but I wanted to hear from someone who has driven both to get a real world opinion.

Am I going to feel the regular trac loc around corners when I am driving the car around town? This is one of my main concerns. I have never driven a car with any kind of limited slip. The car will be driven fairly hard with an occasional burnout from time to time.

Thanks for the advice.

Ok, so everyone who is running a true trac loves it, and the two guys who are running the regular trac loc like them as well with no locking around corners...

Also sounds like the true trac has fewer parts to wear out.

Any one else running the regular trac loc care to share your thoughts?

If I won't notice the normal trac loc during regular driving/cornering why do I need the true trac? I am willing to pay for the true trac, just want to make sure it's worth the extra cost.

Thanks for all the feedback guys.

I have been reading some posts on Google searches and a couple of guys have mentioned that under a total loss of traction (i.e. Burnout) the true trac acts more like an open differential... Have any of you experienced this? I don't want to sound childish but I really want to be able smoke the tires without any problems.

When I called TJ about the two options he said that the true trac is used a lot by guys who are doing autocross style racing.

I am leaning towards the true trac...the car has been in my family for 35 years and will be handed down to one of my sons some day. I really don't want to get the regular trac loc and wish I would have spent the extra $ to get the best.

From a maintenance/durability standpoint, is there a big difference between the two? I would like to get as much life out of it as possible.

Thanks again for the advice.
