hi all, i'm going to change the oil in the lsd on my vz exec,v6 auto, 57k. I'm hoping that this will take some of the backlash the lsd is exihibiting, what i want to know is there an oil that that is a known and proven help with backlash, not after a favourite brand but something that helps, thanks for any help, Iva.
what we have here,is a failure too communicate!!
I use penrite limslip 140 with limslip additive but have upgraded the gears/shims etc
if you want the best go for mainlube 154 75/140 no additive needed with that one
No oil will get rid of backlash unfortunately.
Only a rebuild will cure it.

YES RiCeY, well aware of need too rebuild, the diff was really slack few weeks back and was making d-r selection difficult, so clunky i thought the trans had shit, did'nt drive for a week then decided to have a look underneath, this aint easy for me, 198cm-116klg,car Fe2, anyways got assistant to select DR , front of diff turning and clunking, ok so i decide to drive car and it's returned to normal, that is with just minor clunk on gear selection, i know this is'nt normal but i can live with it . as this problem seems to be intermittent i hoped that an oil change with the best may buy me some time before the rebuild.

New oil may help a little. Helped my vs open diff heaps
If the teeth have lost their hardening, they will wear rapidly. I'd have the money in my pocket if I were you.
Even changing the oil to examine what metal has come off the teeth would be helpful, use a magnet.

give everything a spray with wd40 wheels brakes that should fix the squeaks
