Re: diff binding/ lsd additive
Maybe something should be put in the how-to section on this topic? I had greal luck with Lubegard. ZMAN used redline and it worked for him which is not surprising since Redline makes good stuff too. And now we have confirmation that the Ford Motorcraft additive works as well. The ideal procedure would be this:
1. Drain the transmission and replace the internal filter
2. Pour in one bottle of Lubegard (red bottle), Redline or Motorcraft friction modifier/ATF protectant
3. Add new non-synthetic ATF
4. Perform 10 figure 8s in a parking lot
I specify non-synthetic because I believe the high end synthetic ATFs already have some of this additive in it and the manufacturer's do not suggest adding more friction modifiers. Lubegard and Redline have wetting agents that also aid in removing heat from the transmission and they are also known to help free up sticky solenoids.
