Default Lube Drivetrain?

I was just re-reading an article from the 12/98 issue of Corvette Fever by Chris Petris where he says "lube the suspension and drivetrain." What parts of the drivetrain should be lubed and how? (as info, I regularly service my 700R4's fluid/filter and the diff's gear oil).

Thanks!
Vance

I think you have it covered.

Oh, don't forget the muffler bearings.

mffi115,

The Redline has the lim. slip additive already in the oil. I've had no problem at all with the rear gears just using the Redline w/o the GM additive, even tho I have two bottles of it on my shelf just in case.
