i want to get a differential lock for v6 mustang since only one wheel spins. however i know you cant drive with both wheels locked at all times cause it will eat the tires and the wheels will be fighting each other. so, i was wondering if there is a kit out there where i can switch between the 2?

What you're looking for is a Limited Slip Dirrential. It comes stock on the V8 cars, N/A on the V6 cars.

You have two choices. 1. Take your car to a diff shop and have them do the install. That will cost $800-1,000. More if you want to change the gears to 3.55 or 3.73.

2. Buy a take off differential for about $800 (depending on ratio), and install it yourself.

Third choice would be to get a Richmond Gear "No-Slip" for $400 and do it yourself at home in a couple of hours.

Richard Gear "No-Slip"..?

I've never heard of that, could you link me to it please?

Can the traction control switch imply with the LSD?

The Richmond Gear unit has been covered in a couple of Mustang magazines. Simple to install, no gear set-up required. It replaces the spider gears with a toothed pair of gears. The "No-Slip" is a more street unit while the "Lock-Right" is for more aggressive driving. I've had mine on the DD for over 35,000 miles and just bought another for the project Ranger V-8 swap.
