Is that a friction disc behind that spider gear? I'm trying to get a better pic from its owner before I pick it up.

That is a posi, you can see the tap for the clutch plates. What is your plan with the 8.8?

The "S" spring gives it away, definitely not open.

Thank you. It's going in my car. 8.8 I believe is my cheapest option for a 450 rwhp m6 car with sticky tires.

The truck "S" spring is supposedly the heaviest too. Got that spring and the above clutches in my S-truck, it'll chirp around corners if the pavement is hot enough...
