but it is coming out of a trac option car will that be a problem ?

I have no idea what a 'trac option car' means/is.

rngilliland

It will fit but won't have the reluctor ring required for your abs to work. The rings for three series gears are different than two series. I don't know if your two series one will work or not.

FirstYrLS1Z Thanks for your help and Trac option is traction control option

Thanks rngilliland yeah the shop mentioned something about a tone ring i may have to buy for my brakes to work but it wont effect the abilty to drive my car ?

FirstYrLS1Z

So evidently a 'trac option car' means a 4 channel ABS & Traction Control. 4 channel ABS & TC started as an option in 1995. Your 1994 car/system is 3 channel ABS.
3 channel ABS cars have a tone/reluctor ring mounted on the carrier. 2 different rings,one for 2.73 & 3.08(2 series) and one for 3.23 & 3.42(3 series).



Your 94 would have had an Auburn posi carrier,the 2001 would have a Torsen posi carrier.

Using the 2001 parts will not allow the ABS system to function and the ABS dash light will stay lit,BUT the brakes will still have normal braking ability.

yes sir that is correct

FirstYrLS1Z

The standard 3 channel reluctor/tone ring would press on to a Torsen carrier. BUT they're 'impossible' to get as GM stock is zero and has been for quite a few years.

so now where could i find one ? online maybe im gonna google this ring and see if i could find it thanks for all the help

FirstYrLS1Z

best of luck in your search. Sometimes you gotta buy a broken/worn out carrier just to get the ring off of it.
seen threads of broken rings in the attempt to it.

ok so do i need a abs tone ring for my gears to be set up correct i do understand if i dont have the ring my abs ring my abs wont work in the back correct me if im wrong
or do i need a tone ring to make the car even moveable

FirstYrLS1Z

the ring is necessary for ABS,front and rear.
post #20,you will still have brakes,regular non-ABS brakes.
the absence of the ring does not prevent normal driving.

blac94Z

So i will have no abs in front neither ?
And like you said its a little hard to find this ring what does it look like and where is it located ?

Injuneer

Look at post #20..... IT HAS LABELED PHOTOS SHOWING THE RING AND WHERE IT IS LOCATED.

The ABS system adjusts the braking to the two front brakes and to the rear brakes as a pair. If any component in the system is defective (or not installed) the entire ABS system is deactivated and the "ABS INOP" light on the dash comes on.
