Mini tubbed rear end

[mustang_gt88]

I have a mini tubbed 82 with a 302, gt40, cam, intake. I finally did a dead dig on it last night. The car goes straight but it shifts really hard. Its a 5 speed. The rear end is a 327 31 spline, spool. is this normal?

Aftermarket shifter? Do you have an adjustable cable and quadrant?

[mustang_gt88]

Stock shifter, yes i have a adjustable cable and quadrant.

John I think I have not explaned the problem poorly. It goes in to gear fine but the rear end hits real hard when i get on it. I'm thinking one of the problems is I still have the stock upper and lower control arms. I have also read that with a spooled rear end they grab hard.

Control arm bushings good? Never drove one with a spool but I'm sure its gonna grab very hard

[mustang_gt88]

The bushing on the rearend are new but the upper and lower to the body not 4sure. I think I need to save the money and grab new upper and lowers.

Get some double adjustable uppers and tubular lowers cuz stock stamped ones suck

i had this same problem when i bought my coupe turned out the upper controll arm bushings where totally gone sounds like the same problem

[mustang_gt88]

It is offical, control arms are next on the list

Hope not to thread jack, but with a stock deafened setup is alot of wheel hop to be expected.

[mustang_gt88]

Does your car have alot of wheel hop? I have be told that the upper and lowers will fix that

[jktruckin06]

Dude it's horrible. Rattles my head. Maybe cause there's not much in there though?

[mustang_gt88]

That sucks man, sounds like upper and lowers for you too
