Your differential is going out if only 1 tire is spinning.

It's broke. Whoever did your new rear end, needs to find a new line of work.

Seems like he didn't put friction modifier in it if it hasn't been long since it was done. I would try putting some modifierin your rear before you buy new cluthes for it.

REALLY...it's broke. Ya won't feel a loss in power because it's not the motor, it's the rear end. You rear end needs to be rebuilt, period.

You could jack the rear up,,,,,put in neutral....have one person hold one wheel while you try to turn the other...should be pretty tough to turn the wheel...if not the Track loc....isnt locking.....P.S...I just got in from installing carbon clutches,,,and alloy axles....My rear started the one wheel peel at the track lately...it was wore out...
