Thank you, sir- I went and learned something because of you. My lack of knowledge on some things needs to be addressed and they're towards the top of the list. I need to attend diff school this year.

If it’s an Eaton style, then it’s rebuildable - meaning if the clutches and steels are worn out, then they can replaced. If it’s an Auburn (brand), then I believe they are non rebuildable when the clutches are worn out.

If the question is how do you know when it’s worn out? The easiest way to telll is to do a burnout and see if the tire tracks are even. If only one wheel leaves a mark, then it’s whipped. And if one mark is substantially shorter than the other, then it’s on the way out - somewhere between good and whipped haha.

Clutch style posi’s require a friction modifier additive to added in the oil if you’re changing the fluid.
