Wrong Forum, but yes, a second bottle of posi lube can be added. Do some figure 8's to work it into the clutches.

My Eaton posi is running with two bottles - and yes figure 8's in an empty parking lot....
More posi fluid won't fix worn clutches though - don't expect miracles in that case...

Always use 2 bottles of the current GM additive and a good gear oil, 90 or 85/140. You can look at the new slick oils but you do not need them. Do the figure 8's and that should cover it - if not then the posi needs work. If you have a 63-64 original DANA posi that is a whole different deal.
