What kind of carrier is this??? As the question states, I'm trying to find out what kind of carrier I have. I have never done a rear end tear down so this is new to me. Unfortunately, I do not have any pics to provide at the moment so I will do my best to explain it. I have a 2002 Z28 that was built for State Patrol, but yes it is a 10 bolt. I took the rear end apart last summer and the carrier wasn't like anything I had seen before. No springs at all, but not a spool. It had a bolt that was approx 1/4" x 3" in length that was holding in place some kind of metal retainer between the two c-clip axles. The carrier is very simple, it has two large gears, one on each side, with 4 (if I remember correctly) long cylindrical gears spanning the length of the carrier, form one large gear to another. I'm pretty sure it is posi because sometimes one tire will spin, but I honestly have NO CLUE what the make of the carrier is and I can't find matching pics of it on the internet to save my life. Any ideas???

That's the exact one. Is it worth a crap? Does it matter which way the padde is installed? I didn't realize there was a "channel" in the paddle until after I had taken it out. I wasn't sure if the "channel" went up or downward when I stuck it back in???
Thanks a million for helping me with identification.

Yeah, its a pretty decent differential.. No clutches to deal with. Only reason i swapped mine out of our old 02, was because i had a noise i could track down and rebuilt the whole thing. Turned out it was a couple bearings, and the diff was perfect.
As for the paddle, its been so long, i dont remember which way it goes in. Im sure someone will be better able to help on that.

Can somebody please help me out by telling me which direction the groove in the paddle should face, up or down?
