Re: Differential Lubricant
Taylor, it's extremely hard to find a GL-5 lube without the additive needed
for the Tracloc already in it. That'd be all you would need. The back of
the bottle will generally say something like "compatible with most limited
slip differentials" which means it has the friction modifier already added.
Sometimes you may need to add a tiny bit more on top of what comes in the
GL-5 gear lube, but that's almost pretty rare. The additive is actually
useful for other needs as well like helping new R&P gears run a bit cooler
during break-in.

Re: Differential Lubricant
The clutch disks will not slip in a differential action without it.
I've all ways had to buy the additive from a new car dealer. Never, at
least up until about five years ago able to find any parts counter guy
at Kragen, Chief, Auto Zone, nor Pep Boys to carry it. Broken one set of
Ford nine inch spiders because I wasn't quick enough. Oh well, I needed
Lincoln locker for my Jeep.

The clutch disks will not slip in a differential action without it.
I've all ways had to buy the additive from a new car dealer. Never, at
least up until about five years ago able to find any parts counter guy
at Kragen, Chief, Auto Zone, nor Pep Boys to carry it. Broken one set of
Ford nine inch spiders because I wasn't quick enough. Oh well, I needed
Lincoln locker for my Jeep.

I've all ways had to buy the additive from a new car dealer. Never, at
least up until about five years ago able to find any parts counter guy
at Kragen, Chief, Auto Zone, nor Pep Boys to carry it. Broken one set of
Ford nine inch spiders because I wasn't quick enough. Oh well, I needed
Lincoln locker for my Jeep.

The additive looks just like graphite that you might use to
lubricate key locks, in a vector that smells and has the same viscosity
as kerosene: http://www.----------.com/frictionModifer.jpg
