RE: Looking for posi for AMC 20

["Graham, George W (GE Energy)" <george.graham@xxxxxxxxx>]

Since '68, I've been into more-than-I-can-count limited slip units (mainly
GM and AMC), and a lot of the time all it really took to get rid of the posi
clutch chatter was good lube (kind of makes up for the worn clutch packs to
some extent).   My favorite is Genuine GM Posi Lube, plus one bottle of
Genuine GM Posi Additive.   Never had a chatter comeback when using this
stuff.   Also use it in my T-10; makes it shift slicker than owl snot.

But that's just me (where have I heard that before??!!).

Note that the AMC 20 used a clutch plate style unit. You should investigate
a rebuild kit price before jumping. I found out that shortly after putting a
used one in it will likely develop a problem if you don't! Mine worked fine
for a while, now sounds like a Detroit locker when I go around a curve and
decelerate at the same time. A little power to it and it stops. I suspect a
weak/broken spring somewhere. Jeepers tell me it's nothing that will cause
any internal damage, just noise. Anyone have any other experience?
