Auburn has a D-Rex replacement program. $85 + shipping and return of old
unit. You're stuck with the labor.
I have a new one sitting for next time I trash a chunk.
BTW: they wear quickly when doing waterbox burnouts (dragracing). I'd
think they'd wear well for auto-x. Also, better limited slip action that
the stock style clutches.
You might be able to shave down the clutches and shim plates to get a few
more in the pack. More surface area, more grip....
