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.
