Re: Changing transmission lube
I misread his question. I was refering to the ltd. slip. They are a gear
ltd. slip, not a clutch activated version. I re-read Jeff's question and to answer correctly, they have both, ltd. slip and the switchable lockers. tw __________________________________________________ ___________________ 2003 TJ Rubicon * 2001 XJ Sport * 1971 Bill Stroppe Baja Bronco "There is a very fine line between 'hobby' and 'mental illness'."
