Hey guys i have been having trouble with my LSD only spinning one wheel and was advised that i should change the diff oil, so 2days ago i replaced the diff oil with Red Line Heavy ShockProof oil as recommended to me (Red Line Synthetic Oil - Gear Oil for Differentials - Heavy ShockProof®) & now the diff has a clunk witch happens only sometimes a very low speeds when i am not accelerating just rolling and the same in reverse.

How ever now the diff is working very well apart from the clunking noises. Is this the wrong oil to use or should i add the lsd additive as well or should i dump it out and put a different oil in?

Cheers
