The Auburn for the 9.25 is a non-rebuildable cone clutch type. Once the
cones wear, time to toss the chunk. Actually send it back with $80 +
shipping for a new one. http://www.auburngear.com/aftermarket/drex/

In one HEAVY season of drag-racing, I wore mine out. The exit from the
water box puts a MAJOR toll on the clutches as one tire grips, and the other
is still spinning.

Auto-cross is an entirely different story. It would do excellent in that
application.
