Don't forget to add the 4 ounces of friction modifier for a Traction-Lok axle. Good luck.

lol. i know i never read them. but i know it will have the correct fluid to use. and thanks for the reminder about the friction modifier.

how would i know if it was the clutch making that smell? the smell only last for at most a minute after i down shift and punch it. but still makes me think that something is leaking or burnt up. im just tryin to figure out where before i take it to the dealership and have there guys try to find it. i know i would get the infamous "no problem found" from the them.

If it only lasts for a minute or so after you down shift and punch it, it's most likely clutch... and why would you drain and refill the diff for a smell like that?

bc i could swear its coming from the rear, but i could def be wrong. this is my second
s197 gt and my 07 didnt have this smell so i know there is something wrong just not what it is.
how can i check my clutch then? or is there even a way to check it?
