The following diagnosis might be helpful if the
vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this
PI.
Condition/Concern:
Rear axle chatter or shudder on turns on Chevrolet
Corvette and Cadillac XLR.
Recommendation/Instructions:
Flush and fill the rear axle with synthetic axle
lubricant GM P/N 89021677 (Canadian P/N
89021678) and appropriate amount of the friction
modifier additive P/N 01052358 (in Canada
992694). See fluid amounts listed below.
Note 1: In some cases it has shown that a second
flush procedure on a second repair visit will correct
the chatter/shudder concern prior to replacement of
the clutch packs.
Note 2: To properly flush the rear differential
remove the left differential cover and get all of the
old fluid out off the differential, wipe out the
residue replace the cover o-ring and then reinstall
the cover and fill with the appropriate amount of
fluid and friction modifier additive.
If the complaint or the condition persists after the
flush and fill, replace the right and left rear axle
clutch packs following published service procedures.
