Inside the Original Jeep Quadra-Trac
If the differential is in good shape, simply clean and lube the clutches and cones with TCL-1 fluid and reassemble it. Note that the case holes are offset to ensure proper assembly. The roll pin (arrow) holds the spider gear cross-shaft in place and must not be left out, which is what almost happened here. The differential clutches can get sticky due to old or improper lube, and also from lack of operation. You can usually eliminate this slip-stick condition by driving in a few figure eights or by changing the fluid. View Related Article
