Yep. Cost and function did play a role in why I chose the Spicer. I know that clutches don't last forever, but rebuild kits are relatively cheap plus with mostly highway driving the clutches should last me 50-100,000 miles. I did use Mobil1 Synthetic LSD oil and it seems to function well without additional additives.
