AWD Shakes???

Got my 4.44 done and it was fine for a day. Now, sometimes when I accelerate it just shakes. Most speeds, after warming up, after I did my parking lot figure 8s its worse. The whole car a bit. Pop the FWD fuse in, and its butter, even cut out some of my 1500-2000rpm hesitation. What gives. Is it the cluthces freeing after sitting for a while. Is it Sol. A related as I read in a thread that it had caused some binding. Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks

Check your tranny fluid level just in case that little leak got worse or something.

I also sent you a PM. Anyone else have some ideas??

UPDATE:
ZOMG!!!!!!! The LSD additive is the BEST fix evAr. Added about 2-3oz. And went for a drive. No more than 1 mile later and after some round-abouts at 20 mph, its sooooo much better. 90% better, I'm sure the rest is from the crappy alignment. Hesitation is much decreased, I'm not sure about the Ecu bead as it is too low in the RPM, but I'll try to get to it tomorrow.

List for Sat.:
-Seafoam
-Change Oil
-Change ATF
-Alignment
-Pass. Sway bar bushing

Next Weekend:
-Brakes
-Secret suspension mods (shhhhhhhh!)

Additive fixed it?! What the hell did they throw in it for fluid?? Remember, Change it after a couple hundred miles.

Let me get this straight. What kind of fluid did you put in and where did you put it?

IDK about that. I'd drain that out immediately,change the filter, and change to valvoline maxlife and run some tranny honey in it. I wouldn't want diff fluid in my tranny bro.

It is a Friction Modifier to slip the transfer clutches, where mine sat for a month in Japan and a week here and the transport, the sticking is reasonable.

I think I even read where you recommended it, maybe...
But it worked very well.

I doubt it was me, But I stand corrected. Nice to know I guess. See....You taught me something.

P.S. I think seafoam tranny additive would have done it too.

But Seafoam REQUIRES draining the Trans.

It is merely advised when adding the Diff. Additive

I'm just a stickler for doing things the traditional way. If it belongs in a diff, I put it in a diff. If my tranny is binding, I buy tranny additive. I've had good luck with tranny honey in the past too. Good stuff.
