Default Re: Stuck posi clutches

Yeah, problem is I like going around corners from time to time.

Will pull it back out in a week or two.

Zack is graduating this weekend and we have relatives coming in from out of town, so I will just have to put the car on hold for a while. Although I know Sherri's dad will have to go for a ride.

Default Re: Stuck posi clutches

I had a Trans Am when I was a teenager that had noisy posi clutches and I went to the Pontiac dealership and talked to the old mechanics about how to fix it. They told me to put in a bottle of GM additive and do a burnout with the right wheel on the grass and the left wheel on the pavement, then do a burnout with the left wheel on the grass and the right wheel on the pavement. I did and no more noise! I have used that trick for years on many cars and trucks. I miss those old days when you could go to the dealership and talk to the mechanics and they would be glad to help a broke kid fix his car.

That's a great idea. What's your address? I will be right over. Don't want to tear up my own yard.

Actually, I probably would try that if it wouldn't sling grass and dirt all over my clean wheel wells. Not sure I could find a good place. I like all my neighbors.

LOL! We would not do it anybodys yard. We would do it on a country road where there wasn't much traffic. Good luck with the fix.

Yeah, I figured. Just being a bit of a smart arse.

I have already reseigned myself to disassembling the unit.
