Mech Lsd

[Don Dada]

I've recently installed a 1way lsd in my car and used some Redline 75w140 gear oil ie. the one that comes with the friction modifier already in it.

I've also bought the redline friction modifier additive but i'm not sure if i really need it because the diff does make that ugly clunking noise but surprisingly not half as bad as most of nissans i have been in with mech lsds

It can be a little unpredictable though because some times on a particular corner it would clunk and if i try to reproduce it again the next day it might be as quiet as...not sure if it needs some more running in tho as it has only been on the car for a week

Also it seems to be a little nosier when hot.

Ultimately i want no noise but i'm not sure if this is possible because i dont want to loosen up the diff too much.....so how do i know when i have added enough additive????

Did you break the diff in when it was first installed?

i.e. figure 8's for 30mins or so then replacing the oil.
