Friction Modifiers For Diffs

[Richo]

I need some help here guys.

My 2-Way used to be very quite untill I changed my diff oilt his weekend to Redline 75W140NS, not

realizing (and after taking the advice of an autobarn salesman) this particualr one doesnt have the added friction modifiers required for LSD's. It chutters

on every turn really bad now, and its pissing me off.

Now I can change the oil to something else or buy some friction modifiers to put it in

and it would help the problem, I want to go with the second, but noone seems to carry the Redline friction

modifiers, the question is.. is there anything else out there that I can use?

Cheers,

You can order the Redline FM from their website. But yeah that is the best way to go. I think the Autobarn guy just assumed you had the stock viscous unit where friction modified oils make no difference.

Just add the Redline FM in 30ml lots until you get it quiet like you had before. Don't add too much or the diff will become too 'loose'.

I also heard that Holden or Ford make their own LSD FM additive too, that might be worth a shot.

No, funny thing is, he asked me what kind of diff I had, and I told him, he said this was just the one for it.

Thanks for the info, ill look into it.

hey dude could you do me a favour and let me know how it goes as I have the same oil in my 2 way and was going to change the oil over to castrolSAF-XA. Actually its 80w 140 high performance gear oil. supposed to have the friction modifier already in it. buut think I may head up and grab some new oil anyway to see cause some to think of it it doesnt specify if it can be used in mech 2 way

The SAF-XA would work fine in your 2 way.

Richo, its Autobarn, what advice do you expect lol. They are doof doof dealers heheh..
