Help!!!!!!!!!!

My rear-end is messed up. I "had" a limited-slip diff until tonight. I now have a custom locker diff. I think my clutches in the rear have seized up. Both wheels are pulling when I make a sharp turn in either direction instead of just 1 like it supposed to be. Were going to change the fluid tomorrow and add some limited slip additive. Anybody ever had this problem. Do you think changing the fluid will help, or am I stuck with this "Custom Locker" BTW, the rear-end doesn't wine or doesn't make any unusual noises.

Thanks for the read and help,

Jason

i think it's time for a rebuild or replacement carrier. i doubt if changeing the oil or adding the posi additive will help anything, but it will give you chance to look around and see if you can spot anything wrong.

We changed the fluid today. The good news is that it isn't putting power to both wheels as bad as it was. The bad news is we pulled about 4 small chunks of clutches out from the housing. Could have been worse I guess. At least it didn't hurt my richmond gears.... they still look brand new!!!

Thanks,

Jason
