Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / September 2005Twin-Traction Lubricant
I'm putting an NOS twin-traction DANA 44 in the pikup. Anyone know what to use for lubrication? The shop manual says to use S/P Twin-Traction Lubricant, but I'm fresh out! Thanks for any suggestions!! Rob Put in a good quality 80+ wt oil, then add a tube of GM limited slip additive.......or maybe a good synthetic if your NOS unit will be dry.. If you know anyone with spare sperm whale oil your home free, but that has been outlawed for quite sometime time. You can add a can or bottle of any of the big three's substitute, but I have read somewhere that GM is really the only mfg and repackages for other companies. You will need it, and when you go to pay for it have the guy behind you hold you up, or lean against the wall, itis not cheap. It was something like $60 a bottle in 1985 when they were still using sperm whale oil.. Bill > I'm putting an NOS twin-traction DANA 44 in the pikup. Anyone know what to > use for lubrication?

JT The Tomato and PBW have what Nate listed. It is less than $10 a quart. Takes 1 1/2 quart. Ted Where do you get this stuff from? No body down here seems to have ever heard of the stuff? Of course, that's par for the course around this hole! Bo Check AMSOIL product @ oldcarfart.com > Where do you get this stuff from? No body down here seems to have ever > heard of the stuff?

Rob: This question was asked, and again answered, in the next Co-Operator, probably now being printed as part of the October 2005 Turning Wheels. Any GM dealer: Their # 8902671 Rear Axle Lubricant, with a small chaser bottle of # 1052358 Limited Slip additive, added during the change/refill. BP |
