Re: posi clutches

It should be an Eaton which is my favorite. GM doesn't carry clutches anymore, and none of my local auto parts stores do either. Here are a few places I've ordered from, but there are more:
You'll have to decide if you want factory-type steel clutches, or carbon fiber (I'm not clear on the pros/cons). You'll also have to decide if you want to keep your stock rate clutch springs, or go stiffer (again I'm not clear on the pros/cons).

Re: posi clutches

Thanks for the quick replies

My Jimmy came stock with Posi. It is slipping pretty good so I just want to return it to stock. Truck will see little four wheeling.

Re: posi clutches



Would it make a noise kinda like a rear brake part dragging? I have
narrowed down a noise and thought it was my brakes, but now I'm
leaning towards the rearend since I have an axle seal leaking, it is
probably low on fluid, hense the new noise that I started to hear.
