Re: Locked rear differential

Hi,
I got myself a bottle of positraction additive. I removed some of the fluid from the diff and peaked in the fill hole. I noticed a bolt sticking out, which didn't look normal. Instead of putting in additive, I decided to drain the fluids and open the back cover with the rear axle still attached to the car. Just to see if there was something obviously wrong.
I can conclude that I have the twin traction safety differential, as shown in SC Vol 30 #4. However, it seems to be in kind of rough shape, since none of the bolts are attached.
Looks like I need to pull things out in order to see what can be salvaged.

ps. My brother is flying to visit in a week and a half, so I am able to order a suitcase of parts if needed for him to bring over.
