FamSpec (blacklistedcrv) Fastrac Kit for Honda Rear Differentials
Enhance Your Honda CR-V, Element, or Crosstour with the Best Engineered and Priced Quick Spool Kit on the Market
Overview: The FamSpec (blacklistedcrv) Fastrac Kit, also known as a quick spool kit, is designed for the 1997-2012 Honda CR-V, Element, and Crosstour rear differentials. This kit enhances the performance of your rear differential, ensuring power is transferred to the rear wheels faster and for longer periods. Perfect for those looking to improve traction and response in their AWD Honda.
Why You Need This Kit: Although your vehicle is equipped with AWD, it primarily operates in front-wheel drive, with the rear wheels engaging only when the front wheels lose traction. The CR-V and Element differentials have a complex system of pumps and clutches that only engage the rear wheels when necessary. This kit modifies the pressure system to engage the rear wheels faster and keep them engaged longer, providing a noticeable improvement in traction and stability, especially in snow, gravel, and off-road conditions.
Key Features:
- Optimized Engagement: Modifies pressure to engage the rear differential sooner and maintain engagement longer.
- Enhanced Traction: Increases pressure to the diaphragm, pushing against the clutches with more force for better power distribution.
- Tested and Proven: Developed and tested through rigorous experimentation to ensure the best performance.
- Choice of Kits: Choose between the Fastrac Kit and the Master Kit, which includes additional service items.

Kit Variations:
- Ramp Version (2005.5-2011 CR-V Diff): Comes with 2 shims—one for the clutch pack and one for the ramp-up assembly.
- Non-Ramp Version: Does not include shims. Optional thin shim for the clutch pack available for increased performance, but it may increase clutch wear.
Optional Extra Shim: You have the option of getting an extra shim for the non-ramp version to improve performance. However, this may reduce the life of the clutches, especially if they are already worn out. Choosing the extra shim indicates acceptance of the increased wear risk.
Note: The kit does not include fancy Allen bolts with dress-up cups.
