Not sure what traction devise or is, a limited slip of some kind. I did find a couple litte springs inside.
Going to put a Detroit. Question will I need to reset up my gears if I use all the same shims?

With any carrier other than the one in it yes.
The manufacturing tolerances are good, but they use shims to make up the difference.

Slop leads to broken gears.

I would leave the pinion alone and adjust the shims for backlash with the new carrier and check it. Most likely if it was good enough before it will give an acceptable pattern with the new carrier.
