LSD cleanup.Qs

Post by 3rnzir »

Currently trying the engine flush routine in rear pumpkin on the GQ.Used existing diff oil plus 1 can of STP flush.Drove about 1300kms.Dropped the oil into a white container (needs to be bigger than 2.5lts).Quite abit of black flecks of grud.Fresh can of STP,decanted existing diff oil again.Will run for another 1000kms or so.My Q is,starting to feel a little shudder when I turn hard left or right from a standing start.Not making alot of noise or anything.Is this what a LSD is meant to do when it is working correctly?Will the slight shudder still be there when I add new Penrite Diff Oil?Cheerz.

Well,dropped the engine flush mix out last week and replaced with new penrite LSD oil.Found a good sized peice of what looked like a section of shim.Was stuck to the magnetic plug.Sudder is gone.No other noise comming from the pumpkin.Guess I will need to get the LSD serviced by the pro`s next time.Anyone seen a shim/friction plate/disk work loose before?If so,how long did it last?
