Re: ? on rear end
It's a viscous LSD. When one side slips, the fluid is heated up and power is transferred to the other rear axle.

Re: ? on rear end
And posi trac and limited slip are technically the same thing, just that posi trac is the GM brand name for their limited slip axles. There are different types of limited slip technology. Clutch pack, viscous, torsen, etc. All of these limit the amount of wheel spin only 1 tire can see on an axle.
These are not to be confused with locking diffs, which physically lock the wheels together keeping them at the same speed equally. There are also different types of locking diff technology. A limited slip is a much better diff for a street car because they are smooth and give just the right amount of extra traction needed. Locking diffs are used more in off-road trucks and extreme traction situations, but can be uncomfortable and unwieldy on the street. |

Re: ? on rear end
Just don't put any LSD additive of any sort. 75-90 or 80-90 gear oil depending on the climate

Re: ? on rear end
Yeah, I should have included the word "more" as more power is delivered to the wheel with more traction.

Re: ? on rear end
Well to be completly testnical here.
It reduces the amount of power going to the wheel, with least traction. Harvey.

Re: ? on rear end
What is the difference in the AWD once you remove the automatic and go standard.

I have read on a few Forums, that this is bull$hit, but it is so. The same applies to the VTD auto. As the pressure on the clutch changes it moves torque from the rear to the front. Harvey.

Re: ? on rear end
For whatever my opinion is worth.......
it's different than the others. I suggest a crc gear lube that they make at an excellent price under their Sta Lube brand. It's api/gl-5 sae 85w140. It's works extremely well for everything and meets essentially every specification out there for anything because it's vastly superior to the gear oils (including the synthetic ones) you see on the shelf at discount auto parts. You can get it from napa just pay attention to detail to make sure you get the right one (there are half a dozen different Sta Lube gear oils). This is the stuff I use in my diffs: http://crcindustries.com/auto/?s=SL2433 |

Re: ? on rear end
I guess my question should be , is the 5 speed as effective as an AWD as it was when it was an Auto?. I have my stock rear diff.
