Rev · 02-11-2001, 05:36 PM

As I posted earlier in the Street Racer's Corner, I had a problem at the track with water at the starting line. It seems this caused my Traction-lock clutches to become history. This differential is only 5 yrs. old / 25,000 miles, so bearings and the rest of it are OK. Does anyone know how hard it is to replace the clutch-pack in it? Does one need a clutch-pack compressor like in an auto tranny rebuild? Or should I just take the 3rd member to a shop? Any info appreciated.
