75W90/GL5 just make sure you add the limited slip additive/friction modifier...

I use the Redline, it already has the additive as well for limited slip diffs.

yeah i know redline is good too, but does the additive really work..???

I used it in mine when we installed the Griggs and TA cover. Works great.

As JohnB told me, "If it's already in the fluid, (like the stuff he uses when doing gears) there is not point to add more."

What are you asking???

The "limited slip additive" that you generally install, is already in the Redline fluid, atleast the fluid I used. Verify on the back of the bottle for yourself.

No, a engine with nutz makes them spin. [Wink]

The additive is there to ensure the clutches do not stick together. You don't want them to stick, it burns them up. You want a Posi, buy one. That's not the function of a Limited Slip. Look at installing a Auburn or Eaton.
