Greg,

I had a Warren "Dual-Drive" rear posi in a CJ (D44) with a 482 and Powerglide
w/ brake. It had two, both way roller clutches in it, (looked like an automatic
front hub, except bigger). It was the smoothest posi I ever saw. Completely
unlocked under normal conditions and completely locked under power without and
indication of what happened.

At Gravelrama one year, I had just finished cleaning the rear brakes and had
one rear wheel off the ground when some "Inspectors" came around. You could
grab the back tire, shake it, then rotate it forward... then backward... while
in park.    I said "It must have a broken axle" then set it down and drove into
the staging lanes.  You should have seen the look on their faces.

I'll pay a finder's fee to locate another.....   Regards  Tom
