Rear diff rebuild

[sc4.6]

Are people rebuilding the ZF rear differentials after burning up the clutches or just tossing them? I know some refer to them as throw away differentials, but that just seems crazy when it's only the clutches that are burnt.

I’ve heard of them being rebuilt. Contact @Hatermkr he can do it for you possibly.

If it wasn't for the shipping costs that would be a possibility, unfortunately the cost to ship these things is high. I installed a new 3.09 unit and I have a new take off 2.62 in the garage, so I'm in no rush to rebuild the burnt up 2.62. I'm more so wondering if the rebuilds are happening and where the clutch packs are available at, I can't find them when searching online.

If just replacing the LSD yes, if your ring gear or pinion are damaged no

Ring and pinion are fine, it was in one wheel peel mode. Any idea where to find the clutches?

@fumanchu182 started looking into this a year or so ago. he may have some good input on it for you.

Currently the only way to get new clutches is to cannabalize a ZF differential.

I am working with Pure Drivetrain to get clutches made here in the USA.

So I have a large paper weight for the time being, into my parts cabinet it goes.

Sucks, surprised you can't just find them 😕

Just confirmed, @Hatermkr has a used like new set, $300 plus the ride. If you want them message him.

I'm waiting to hear back from my guy that rebuilds differentials, if he can do the rebuild, then I will reach out to Hatermaker. Thanks for your help.

What did you ever figure out?

Good news, developing a relationship with overseas parts supplier. I will be the exclusive importer of ZF clutches outside of ZF and Stellantis.

Yes, good news. I hope the marketplace will put together full rebuild kits for these ZF's - clutch kits, bearings, seals, etc. I would imagine a decent sales potential. Those of us in Mopar for the long haul will want some strategic inventory on-hand to keep our rides viable!

Aftermarket needs to step up big and knock it off with the hellcat tax

 

[fumanchu182]

We wont be offering full rebuild kits. Send the diff to us and we will send them back. Too many things to go wrong with re-assembly. We have also gotten the rights to import the all elusive crush sleeve from ZF.

 

[fubar569]

This is why we like you. Hellyeah!

So...does this also mean you could set up the billets for us?

That is a lot of money in shipping for just a repair. Most people on here can rebuild diffs.I have been a tech since 91. Have way more tools for engines, diffs and transmissions I know what to do with.And with no warranty either way its going to be a hard sale. IMHO you would make more money selling parts to people or at least shops. Shims that are currently used are from a dana 44. Would be nice to have the crush sleeve though.
