And just to stir up shit, this is a case where everything was working fine until I changed the oil.....LOL

yet another example of a tranny or diff doing just fine with oil that is 100k miles old and then a wise guy puts fresh fluid in there and all the clutch surfaces start slipping....


I would probably blame the 2 bottles of friction modifier you added.

The modifier causes the clutches to slip so they are quieter. Somehow, at one time, a weenie didn't like the sound his posi made. Said weenie, unable to cope with the clicking sound of his posi-traction clutches slipping, added 2 bottles of additive. The clicking sound went away. This weenie then posted about how he solved the great clicking debacle with something as simple as an additional bottle of additive. Soon, other weenies were following his lead, and the forum was flooded with stories of the click defeating second bottle of additive. Unfortunately, these weenies don't ever drive their cars agressively, so none of them ever realized that they were killing their posi-traction clutches one bottle of additive at a time.

Next go around use a synthetic fluid with the additive already added (Valvoline makes a cheap one) and leave the additive alone. I would bet a ton of the weenies using the 2 bottles are also using synthetic fluid which already has the friction modifier in it. In that scenario, the clutches don't stand a chance... Modifier in the synthetic fluid and 2 bottles on top... No clutch set up would grab swimming in that.
