i had my car on a lift today and i noticed my wheels no longer spin in the same direction.. its a stock posi unit with 373's.. does that mean the clutch packs are shot?

 

Or, to put it a different way, the posi is toast for some reason or another.

 

the weird part is it still spins both tires....

 

Either that, or it's not the stock posi for one of these cars, but rather it's the Eaton "Grenade Lock" out of a S truck.

The thing about spinning 2 tires doesn't matter. That's no proof of what's inside the housing.

Take off the cover and look. Sounds like one of 3 things is true: either it's not a posi in the first place; or it's the junk S truck one; or it's toast. Any of the above, you can quickly identify by taking off the cover. All other "indications" are uncertain at best.

 

its a posi.. unless someone took it out after i put it in.. hehe... i looked at the gear oil a few mins ago and its pitch black.. looks like i burnt the clutch packs up havnt pulled the cover back off yet cause i need 2 go to class in about half n hour.. guess its just gonna be a 1 wheeler from now on cause i really dont feel like dumpin any more money into another rear for this pos..

 

ok upon further examination i've determined that im retarded.. i just jacked the rear end of the car up and took another look at it and they are spinning in the same direction
