Posi trac is chevy's name for a Trac Lok

Pontiac: Safe-T-Track

Ford: Equa-Lock and Trac-Lok

American Motors Corporation: Twin-Grip

Mopar: Sure Grip

Ferrari: E-Diff

They all work on the same principle... clutches, planetary gears, or viscous fluids. All need maintenance, and only one will fit your rear end... the Trac-Lok.

There are plenty of aftermarket units that will fit your unit if you're interested, i suggest the Powertrax unit from my general research.

A Chevy unit won't fit your car.

The only limited-slip diff that doesn't use clutchtes is a Torsen-type geared diff. Auburns use cone clutches, and lockers are no-slip diffs.
