- Our Rigid Axle Eaton style limited-slip positraction unit uses carbon fiber and steel friction plate technology for smooth and aggressive traction. The carrier case is forged steel for strength and reliability. Because this carrier is an eaton style clutch posi, it can be rebuilt and serviced. Our Rigid Axle positraction is the perfect choice for daily drivers, weekend warriors, towing, basic off-road use, and street/strip applications. See below for some key features and tech specifications:
- Fully Machined, Forged Steel Case

- Rigid Axle's OE Dry 2-Cut and aftermarket ring and pinion gear sets are made from heat treated 8620 steel. Our OE Dry 2-Cut ring and pinions are made using a two-cut, face hobbed manufacturing process. The advantage to running a 2-Cut gear is how quiet they operate. If you want a guaranteed quiet gear, upgrade to our Dry 2-Cut gear set! When these gears are set up properly and rolled with gear marking compound, the pattern will show up slanted. Our aftermarket gear set is made using a five-cut, face milled manufacturing process. Once set up correctly, this will give a square contact pattern on the drive and coast side of each tooth. We are proud of our ring and pinion lines, and you will be too!
