    GStage1 Always looking for parts!

    Both tires are supposed to spin with a good posi unit. Something is wrong.
    Have the person who installed the unit, check the spider gears and clutch packs.

    Posi Tract

    Bad News!!!! I disagree with the dealer. A posi-tract should be a twin spin!!! :3gears: I would go back and return the rear and buy a Eaton Performance Posi. I got a deal on mine for around $400.00 with new gears from a GS Club member :beer , AL.
