Dana 35 limited slip question
HI. I have a 94 YJ Sahara with a Dana 35 w/o ABS tagged 52068849.
This means it does not have a locking differential. Does this also mean that it is not a limited slip rear axle? I am currently replacing the axle fluid and I was wondering if I need to add the extra gear oil additive friction modifier. I will be closing it up with a paper gasket and RTV gasket sealer (permatex blue). Someone else used some orange gasket maker and made a mess with over use and the bolts. tnx... -- <html><form><input type crash></form></html> nospam@zero.com Replace nospam with jetta to reply via e-mail |
Re: Dana 35 limited slip question
Just about all GL-5 axle lubes you'll find on the shelves of auto parts
stores already contain the friction modifier additive needed for Jeep axles that has the limited slip differential. However, that additive is also 100% compatible with axles without a limited slip differential too, and with lockers too. It's safe to use that kind of lube no matter what, and all lubes you'll find on the store shelves will be "limited slip compatible". So no matter what you have in that rear axle, it'd be hard to find an axle lube that is GL-5 rated (as all axles need) that would not be compatible with or without a limited slip differential.

Okay. That makes sense.

Yes, some Jeeps came with limited slip differentials (called Tracloc) from the factory... but not until the 2003 Rubicon did Jeeps ever come with a locker from the factory.

Most new lubes *say on the bottle* that they have the additive. Some don't
seem to work as well as others however... Earle "Kevin in San Diego" <kevin_hedstrom@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:sXHWa.400$2g.226@fed1read05... > What a refreshing thread. (no bs here!).

Hi Peter,
I don't believe any manufacturer would sell the limited slip with the Antilock Brake System. God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O mailto:-------------------- http://www.----------.com/ Peter Parker wrote: > > Okay. That makes sense. Can I still have limited slip if I don't have > a locking diff? |
Re: Dana 35 limited slip question
I think you bought traction control, that's computer controlled
braking to simulate a limited slip, most high end passenger cars have it. I don't believe you'll find the add limited slip additive tab your housings.

Re: Dana 35 limited slip question
I've got a YJ -91.
When the rear axle gets warm it starts to sound strange, especialy when you drive slow in circles. I'm pretty sure it's the limited slip version and i've added the limited slip additive. I haven't had the Jeep for more than a short while and i don't really know what kind of oil theres in it. Anyone who has had the same problems ? Tommy from Sweden.
