Detroit Truetrac M80 28 Spline LSD
Upgrade your factory Borg Warner M80 differential with the proven Eaton Detroit Truetrac 28 Spline Limited Slip Differential.
The Truetrac uses a helical gear design to automatically transfer torque to the wheel with the greatest available traction, providing a significant improvement in grip without the harsh engagement characteristics of a traditional locking differential.
With no clutch packs or friction plates to wear out, the Truetrac is an excellent upgrade for street, performance and motorsport applications where smooth, predictable operation and improved traction are required.

Available Options
Truetrac Centre Only
Includes the Eaton Detroit Truetrac M80 28 spline differential centre.
Harrop Part Number: 63-912A642
Ideal where the existing differential bearings, seals and related components are being reused or sourced separately.
Truetrac + Differential Rebuild Kit
Includes:
-
Eaton Detroit Truetrac M80 28 spline differential centre
-
Harrop M80 Differential Rebuild Kit
The rebuild kit is designed for Borg Warner M80 rear differentials and typically includes the bearings, spacers, gaskets, seals and pinion hardware required when rebuilding and installing the differential centre.
Truetrac Part Number: 63-912A642
Rebuild Kit Part Number: 63-DK-BWA2005
For vehicles with higher kilometres, unknown differential history or where the differential is already being removed and disassembled, we recommend selecting the rebuild kit option and refreshing the associated wear components at the same time.
Why Upgrade to a Truetrac?
A conventional open differential can send power to the wheel with the least traction, making it easy to spin a single tyre under hard acceleration.
The Truetrac's helical gear system continuously responds to available traction and biases torque across the axle, helping both rear tyres contribute more effectively.
The result is improved:
-
Launch traction
-
Corner exit grip
-
Wet-weather performance
-
High-power street drivability
-
Predictability compared with aggressive locking differentials
It provides the additional traction expected from a performance LSD while retaining smooth behaviour during everyday driving.
Professional Installation Recommended
Differential installation requires correct bearing preload, backlash and gear contact pattern adjustment.
Empire Performance recommends installation by an experienced differential specialist or performance workshop to ensure correct operation and service life.
