    Ford Friction Modifier Vs. G.M Friction Modifier.

    I would use the FORD friction modifier. You can use either the Motorcraft or the FORD Racing. Motorcraft part number is XL-3.

    Ford Friction Modifier Vs. G.M Friction Modifier.

    Follow Auburn's recomendation of FORD or GM friction modifier additive if your gear oil already does not have the LSD additive. FORD, GM and MOPAR friction modifiers are all different formulations.

    75W90/75W140

    Jtgrant, You want to stick with the 75W-140 and a 4oz bottle of either the FORD LS additive or FORD Racing LS additive for the Trac-lok.

    No Friction Modifier in trac loc

    I agree w/mechtech2; Try some slow speed figure eights. How many miles on the Trac-loc? Have the clutch plates ever been replaced?

    Friction modifiers

    If the Quaife has metal friction plates in the LSD unit, noise is allways possible without the LSD FM additive. Maybe Dodge was being cautious in recommending the additive.

    Friction modifiers

    There maybe someone who check for a TSB from Dodge/Chrysler for the offical fix. I am not sure if the "original" factory fluid had the additive or not. I sure the later ones did. Since your manual calls it out you must have one of the later ones.

    Friction modifiers

    Ethan, Depending on the car (manufacturer) you can go to the service counter at the dealership and ask for the bottle of LSD additive. The FORD or CHRYSLER stuff is usually the most available and dependable. The Redline is also very well respected.

    Friction modifiers

    The chemicals used in friction modifiers for automotive LSD applications typically have a high percentage of a sulfur-phos gear oil. The Redline LSD or other LSD additives at the parts counter contain a high percentage of some gear oil in addition to the "cocktail" of chemicals making up the...

    Friction modifiers

    LSD friction modifiers are formulated for use in GEAR OIL not engine oil or transmission ATFs. The Redline LSD additive is for use in LSD axles. Typical motorcycle oil is 5W30 engine oil not gear oil.

    Friction modifiers

    I believe that the FM chemistry used for LSD applications would make the oil used in motorcycle wet clutches too slippery. The clutches need to engage percisely in cycles vs lsds have some larger tolerances.

    Does SynPower have LSD additive?

    I would stay with the FORD LSD additive for chatter prevention if needed after a gear oil drain and refill.
