I'm sure there are people running rag discs. I have no doubt. Some people still think the earth is flat.i can't fix them either.
What's interesting is a thread in the suspension or chassis forum. A guy broke his 8.75 with his parts breaking clutch and was asking about switching to a D or S60.
Now, I have ZERO issues with wanting to upgrade the rear axle. None. BUT (and this is a HUGE BUT) the OP didn't actually FIX the ISSUE and that issue is his junk, outdated, obsolete clutch. He is applying a band aid where he needs an amputation.
If you go find the thread, I think I made the case for BOTH an adjustable clutch and the CT. I think I laid it out as clear as reasonably possible without a Biblical length response.
Did the OP upgrade his axle? I think so. Is he going to do something about his junky clutch? I doubt it.
It's human nature to take the easy way out, rather than do two things to fix an issue. If the axle survives, than in his mind, it was a success.
The reality is, he gave up way more than he needed to by not addressing his clutch issue. And I think Jpar can address that. He has said in what little time he's had with his CT he can tell how much more control over applying the clutch he has. And that's a BIG deal.
Of course, you had guys in that thread who haven't used a clutch since 1981 telling him to swap out the axle. Like I said, I'm all for it. Just do both. Address the weaker rear axle and the junk, parts eating, miserable to drive clutch.
You should go find the thread and read it.
