It seems that my clutch packs are already basically gone in my rear 44. The turn a wheel and hold the other resulted in no posi action.
Iv had a knock in the rear axle for awhile while letting out the clutch while on hill. My gear guy thinks it could be the side gears (shaft spider gears) have a little bit out play because the clutch packs are essentially gone. The clutch packs are basically washers that fill the gap inside between the shaft gear and the inside of the housing.
Pulled the cover and my diff fluid was extremely dirty again..in only about 1k or so miles of use. Dissolving clutch packs would explain this.
I sent some video and pictures to my gear guy. Waiting to hear back exactly what he thinks next.
Hereās a pic of the clutch packs. Canāt do videos on here. Maybe Iāll add a YouTube link.
UPDATE: Spiders are going bad and will eventually fail just like the dozens and dozens of trac-lok JK threads you can google. Some even talk about the same clunk I hear starting in first once a load is put on. Looks like it is the same crappy scenario! Clutches wear out faster the more you wheel your Jeep..which I do almost every weekend.
Arb it is..
