Yeah, newer's better. The Eaton Gov-lock (Governor-controlled Locker) isn't a sturdy piece. I have it in the '84 Trans Am axle that I put onto my '86.
I don't know about rebuild kits; if you find one, let me know! I'm missing some chunks off the teeth of my spider gears- it was that way from the junkyard.
