10 bolt posi clutches - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Where can I find replacement posi clutch discs for my 86 factory posi in a 8.5 10 bolt? Last time I had the cover off I found a partial disc and a partial ring gear tooth in the bottom of my pumpkin. I got some nice richmond 4.11 gears to put in but I need to fix the posi clutch packing at the same time.

Pictures? Clutch-style traction devices are not factory equipment in our trucks. The Eaton G80 or Gov-lock is standard and it does not have clutches...it can grenade and shed parts, but not clutch material.

Look up the G80 or Eaton Gov-lock on youtube, there are some good animations and how-it-works videos.

Still uses clutches I'm pretty sure.

I stand corrected, it has a clutch system as part of it's mechanism. I should have stated that better, it is not a clutch-type posi as can be commonly found.

Eaton G80 vs. Eaton Posi (clutches)

So I'm familiar with how the g80 in the 90s worked with the centrifugal cams that locked it up I though the earlier ones were clutch packs. I guess ill have to pull it apart n get pics or look closer at the carrier for info unless there's one type of clutch carrier that used stacked clutch plates
