Looks like stock 30 spline internals on that Eaton. If you upgrade to the 33 spline you get a much stronger material and it is the old school cut gears instead of the cast gears like Eaton uses. Also, get rid of those carbon clutches and go with the 18 pack steels. You get a little chatter around corners but they will hook way better.

Moser packages some cheap **** with their rear ends sometimes. One of the wheel bearings split when the shop pressed it on. The studs are junk. I wouldnt run the stock moser studs for five miles. Mine all snapped off after about 120 highway miles. The same happened to another guy around here on his 12 bolt. We both have ARP's now, no problems.
1BadAir, that looks like your posi stuff. You cant blame the 12 bolt for that, blame the differential.

mine doesn't have c-clips.
Is that the pinion bearing? I broke one too before I put the solid spacer in. I crushed the crush sleeve launching the car once and broke the pinion bearing. Even with the solid spacer the gear pattern and backlash moves after a few launches

So I take it that you guys have the C-clip eliminators. I've "heard" mixed reviews on 'em. Weren't they supposed to be for the track and not for use on the street. At least that's what I had understood at one time.

The 6spd cars have a HUGE issue with the 12bolt, we only reccomend 12bolts for autos, and even then its not really much more to get a kick *** 9" setup.
The issue with the 6spds is the shock from the clutch dump will cause housing flex via tq arm. Seen it time and time again, starts out quiet as can be, then noisy. They normally do not fail, just become loud.

Moser Engineering offers the best aftermarket 12 Bolt on the market. Our 12 Bolt housings are newly cast nodular iron housing units that are direct replacements for most leaf-spring, coil-spring, and torque arm General Motors OEM applications. The extremely durable housing units have giant caps utilizing half inch Allen bolts, and include perches or brackets. You have a choice of axles with pressed on ball bearings, or OEM style c-clip with c-clip retention. The units can be set up for anti-lock brakes and work with many OEM GM brake setups. Utilizing new housing ends adds to the simplicity and ease of installation, which is unparalleled in the industry. The complete package includes a Moser 12 Bolt housing, Custom Alloy Axles with ball bearings, studs and retainer plates. Also includes either a Moser full spool or a posi unit, Pro Street gears, 1350 series pinion yoke, chrome cover, and assembly. Brakes are not included. When ordering with a Moser full spool or a posi unit, you have the option of 30 spline axles or upgrade to our 33 spline axles, which carry a 10 year replacement warranty. However, if you are ordering the package with c-clip axles you can only order 30 spline axles. TWO-DAY TURNAROUND ON ALL ORDERS!
This is from Mosers website, and the only ones I sell do not use c clips. Bob
