Yukon Gear YPKGMVET-P-17 is a replacement spider gear and positraction internal kit for 1963-1979 Chevrolet Corvette applications using the GM cast-iron differential with 17-spline axles and a compatible Yukon Dura Grip positraction. The kit provides the primary internal gear components needed to replace worn or damaged spider gears while retaining the existing differential carrier.
The kit includes two 17-spline side gears, four pinion gears, a cross-pin shaft, roll pin, and spider gear thrust washers. It is a practical rebuild solution when the side gears, pinion gears, thrust washers, or related internal components require replacement but the compatible Dura Grip carrier remains serviceable.
YPKGMVET-P-17 does not include differential clutches. Its application is focused on C2 and C3 Corvette rear differential service, making it useful for restorations, performance rebuilds, and repairs involving the correct 17-spline GM cast-iron Corvette differential configuration.

About Yukon Gear Corvette Spider Gear Kits:
Yukon Gear & Axle spider gear kits are designed to replace worn or damaged internal differential gears while allowing the existing compatible carrier to remain in service. For classic Corvette applications, these kits provide the application-specific side gears, pinion gears, cross-pin components, and thrust washers needed during differential repair or restoration. They are especially useful when rebuilding the original-style GM cast-iron rear differential and the carrier itself remains usable.
