Re: Changing transmission lube
I misread his question. I was refering to the ltd. slip. They are a gear
ltd. slip, not a clutch activated version. I re-read Jeff's question and to answer correctly, they have both, ltd. slip and the switchable lockers. tw __________________________________________________ ___________________ 2003 TJ Rubicon * 2001 XJ Sport * 1971 Bill Stroppe Baja Bronco "There is a very fine line between 'hobby' and 'mental illness'."

Re: Changing transmission lube
The rear is a "helical gear" limited slip (Sugino or some such -- the
manufacturer's correct name escapes me at the moment) which uses no clutches at all. The front is a regular open differential unit. However, both can be solidly locked (air actuated) rear only, or rear plus front with the in-dash switch when necessary. The factory setup dictates you must have the transfer case in "Low" position before the lockers (front or rear) will activate. However, there are methods to bypass this so the lockers become active at any time you wish to use them.
