Default GM Syncro + LSD

Can I use GM Syncromesh Friction Modified with a clutch pack 1.5 way LSD? Or should I use Redline MT-90 or MTL?

My tranny ain't grinding. I just have a sticky 2nd gear mostly when I downshift from 3rd.

Is it normal for a clutch pack LSD to shudder violently on slow speed turns? Mine shudders and feedbacks like crazy in the morning when I make turns. After a few more turns at the lights, it stops shuddering. It also happens after I park the car for an extended period of time. I am using Motul 75W90 tranny fluid. It didn't shudder in the past with another fluid.

mine does the same thing, once it warms up its fine. my diff is 100% locking. i know with the KAAZ you can set the clutch plates A-B-A-B for 100% or if you want it less set them at A-B-B-A and they will slip a little(i forget the % it takes the locking down to)and it wont be jerky going around corners.

i never used any of the KAAZ oil or a heavier weight oil in my transmission because i was worried about synocro damage, but the synocrmesh seems to be working really well.

Might be time for a rebuild. IMO you should take that diff out and replace it with a stock one.

Its gonna be a LSD rebuild or a stock one goes in. I get this rough sound from the tranny when my foot is off the gas in any gear slowing down. Seems like the clutch pack might be gone.

Do we really have to go over this all over again?

This is why I say find a stock one. You obviosly are not the person to have/understand/deal with a clutchpack diff.

Okay lets wrap this up... I got no dough for a rebuild. I want to change my fluid. Redline MT-90, Motul 75W90 or GM Syncromesh with Friction Modifier?

The point we are making is that you have asked this question numerous times and still came back and asked the same question.

Put synchromesh in hopefully it works and this will be the last thread discussing this tired topic

I don't think anyone said a rebuild of the entire tranny. I think they said to change out the Diff to go back to a stock one. I doesn't sound like you use the car in any way that it would require an upgrade to a clutch type diff.

I also don't think your going to find any miracle tranny fluid to stop whatever noises/feelings you are getting. Just put in some Syncromesh w/ FM if your heart desires and deal with your diff or change your diff out liek others have said...
