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...

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. Can I still have limited slip if I don't have
a locking diff?

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.

Re: Dana 35 limited slip question
Most new lubes *say on the bottle* that they have the additive. Some don't
seem to work as well as others however...

Hi Peter,
I don't believe any manufacturer would sell the limited slip with
the Antilock Brake System.

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 ?
