[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 538533, member: 56140"] Flip, You have a Limited Slip differential. The proper fluid is 75W140 for the LSD and you must add the friction modifier to prevent clutch chatter. A standar open differential uses, IIRC and please correct me if I am wrong, 80W90 gear oil and no friction modifier. The Tranny is nowhere near the differential...in case anyone is wondering. If you look under the rear of the Trac, you will see a thing that the tires bolt up to, that is the rear axle. That round thing in the center of the wheels, sometimes called the "pumpkin ball", is the differential housing. Inside for that differential housing is the differential. If you are looking for the tranny, it is bolted behind the engine, but in front of the driveshaft. (^_^) Tom [/QUOTE]
