Limited slip additive

What does it do?
does it allow the diff to slip more than with just gear oil or less?
How can I make my auburn posi slip less?

Did you not put it in when you put the posi in??? If not....look out. It's a friction modifier. Makes the dif fluid so it doesn't ruin the clutch pack in the posi unit. It NEEDS to be in there. Repeat NEEDS TO BE IN THERE!

RE: Limited slip additive

yeah, it's in there, but the rear slips a little more than i'd like. Wondering if putting in half a bottle or two bottles would make a difference. Basically, can i change the slip amount by varying the amount of additive and if so do i put in more or less?

I've always been told to use only 1 bottle. You might consider changing the fluid to Royal Purple, and 1 bottle of friction modifier. That's what I run. Royal Purple is one of the best gear fluids made, if not the best.
