Re: Part # for fluid needed (Stingray1967)
Redline 75W-90 :p:
Let me see if I can find the GM part # for you.
EDIT: From Bliss' tech tips
"Ingredients / tools needed:
- 1.69 Quarts of M1 Synthetic Gear Oil (GM equivalent 12378261) SEA 75W-90 (Z06 3.42's, other gears may vary slightly)
- 4 oz. of limited slip additive (EQUA TORQUE) or GM part #1052358
- A big 'ole Hex Key, like 1/4" I think it was ..
- Some rags and a fluid oil pump ($5 at pep boys, very useful)"
BTW-you need a 10mm hex key to remove the drain and fill plugs.

Re: Part # for fluid needed (Rob 2K1)
Rob,
The idaho corvette page I just checked said to us 80W90 gear oil. The GM part # equivalent there was 12345977. Here's a link to it.

Is there a big difference between the 75 and 80W90 lube?

Chris,
I just changed my tranny and rear diff fluids to Red Line this past weekend. I am very happy so far.
I don't think you will notice any difference between the 75W-90 and the 80W-90. I like the fact that the limited-slip additive is already in the Red Line.
I ordered the oil from http://www.autoil.com Good prices and free shipping.

DRM carries RedLine. They carry Amsoil at my local Champion Auto. You can't go wrong with either one.
I had my RedLine in just a few days. autoil.com is located in Cedar Rapids, IA

Chris,
What howling? When does the rear end howl?
I changed mine out since I have 21,000 miles and ran up at BIR twice.
Let me know if you need any tips on painting your calipers. I just did another set last weekend with the Folia-Tec kit.

P.S. Feel free to shoot me an email. The reply time will be faster.

Re: Part # for fluid needed (Rob 2K1)
I'm getting a clunking at low speeds when I turn all the way over to the lock. But it is intermittent. :confused: I'm not going to tackle the rear end this weekend.
