Joe Gibbs driven diff fluid
Hello,
Just traded my 5th gen ZL1 in for a c7 z06. Car is a 16 with 9k miles. Engine oil has been changed, but I want to go ahead and change out trans and diff fluid. I have the oem fluid for the tr6060 in the camaro, will this work in the corvette? Also, I purchased joe Gibbs driven diff fluid, has anyone used this with the elsd?
thanks,
travis

The rear dif isn’t labeled, the drain is easy but the fill is tucked up above the rear sway bar. It’s not horribly bad, but it’s more difficult to fill.
A little advice, everyone swears on here you need a flex head 3/8” rachet to get the fill bolt out on the rear dif.
Use a 1/2” rachet, non swivel, with a 1/2” to 3/8” adapter and a 3 inch long 3/8” extension. With that setup you will get right in the fill bolt no issues.

Joe Gibbs differential fluid?
I assume is just a rebranded fluid.
Perhaps a special blend.
You may the forum's test pilot for this fluid.
FWIW I would only use GM approved fluid eLSD.
Good luck in your decision.
