my rep precedes me...

In the 95 i'll think... you'll have the Auburn LSD. These are a cone style LSD, where springs in the housing help to push the cones into the housing in situations of high torque (might not be 100% how it all works and when but you get the idea). In this case you will need some modifier. I would use as GM advise. The modifier actually makes the LSD slip. If you dont include it , the diff will lock out under general driving quite a bit and may chatter..plus it will wear out sooner. I wore mine in one season of drag and occasional drifting ;) as I didnt run modifier for about 6 months and used crap oil :S

My 1997 Camaro has a slow leak from the diff cover. It has an LSD fitted aftermarket but I don't know which one.......and therefore have the same issue regarding diff oil change and additive

Would any of the moderators mind if I posted a link to a friend of mine from another American car forum. He's based in Kent and sells a complete line of automotive oils and additives?

Demon Tweeks used to do GM and Ford diff additives. Worth a look.
