Title: Rear end swap
Post by: Snatchrick on March 30, 2005, 06:57:42 PM
I'm just about ready to put the 5 lug converted rear end in my car and was wondering how much and what kind of fluid should I put in it? What's the deal with that friction reducer stuff? How much and what kind again? Thanks.

And you also need friction modifier to ensure proper operation of traction-lok.

Friction modifier makes the clutches more splippery and eliminates groaning/chattering. Best performance is achieved by not using any friction modifier. But then you have to contend with the noises.
