I was talking to a buddy last night, telling him my plans for my front
locker and he mentioned a way that would make my LSD in the rear stay
locked...he says he knows a couple people who have done this...

Just looking for peoples thoughts on this...

Here's what he told me...

"Drain the gear oil out of your d35 w/ limited slip and put in cheap Walmart
80w90 gear oil, it doesn't have the aditive for limited slips and will not
lube the clutches, therefor it will be locked until you put limited slip
aditive in or limited slip oil."

any thoughts?? he did mention it would shorten the life of the LS which I'm
not overly concerned about as an axle swap will probably happen in the next
couple years anyhow...

TIA.

This is a stupid idea. The clutches won't stay locked, but will grab and
let go, chattering on corners and otherwise making the vehicle hard to
maneuver. A semi-legitimate way to accomplish what you want is to install
an additional clutch disk in the Trak-Loc. This tightens up the clutch but
still allows it to release properly, if the proper fluid is installed.

If you do that, please take a camera along, and send the pictures
of your broken axles: http://www.----------.com/dana35c/ Doing that I
broke the spiders of the smaller Ford nine inch.
