sorry but that one does not have a clutch pack. It is a cone type and they have no replaceable parts. I have three of them and I have had it apart.
 
So when it goes bad you just throw it away?
I would rather have the rebuildable one for the same money.

He says "Done by a professional."
what do you think he meant?
 
There once was a service by Borg Warner/Auburn where they would rebuild them. They would install oversized cones, or they would remachine the housing and install sleeves, but they haven't done that since the 80's, I beleive. There was a shop that turned the cones and made spacers for the side gears, but they are hit and miss for quality. There are Eaton clutch type aftermarket units for Chrysler 8.25" that have replaceable clutches, but the parts have been hard to get.
 
Throw away unit pretty much. Chrysler never serviced any parts for that unit. Borg Warner may have had a rebuild service I don`t really know. Some people have machined the cones and put in thicker washers but I never tried it.
