Will a rear end without traction control work on my car?

**CharlieSS** · 07-04-2006, 09:04 AM

I have a 2000 SS with traction control. I might buy a 12 bolt moser out of a 1998 SS that has no traction control. Are they compatible? Or what mods do I need to make? I dont really care for traction control so someone please let me know.

the rear will go right in. you won't have traction control anymore and possibly not ABS either.

Neither one of your ABS or traction control will work, but yes the rear will physically work.

Can you just press the reluctors onto that rear?

Yes you can get them on to the axles but the rear end housing does not have the provisions for the sensors.

The diff will fit right in. Obviously you TC will not. LS1Kid, all of the 4th Gen F-Bodies have ABS. He will be able to hook up his plugs up tp the 98s rear.

It depends on where/if the 12 bolt was set up for the sensors. If it is set up for a three chanel, which it sounds like it is, neither of his traction control or his ABS will not work. If it is set up for a four chanel then his stuff would work. And if it has no sensor holes then none of his stuff will work either.

three chanel=abs only (1 sensor on top of the pumpkin)
four chanel=traction control and abs (2 sensors, one on top of each axle tube just inboard of the backing plates)

The reluctor ring/rings are in different spots on the 3 and 4 chanel set ups.

Charlie, you need to find out if the 12 bolt is set up for 3 or 4 chanel. If you have traction control and abs you need a 4 chanel rear end for all of your stuff to work. A 3/no chanel set up will physically work in you car but your traction control and abs will not work.
