Get to change the diff cover

[stumpy]

The differential gasket is leaking, and the cover is rotting through, though they say at work. But since it will cost me 22 bucks employee price, i went ahead for the cover. Now I got to get the fluid. The cover should be here tomorrow. I might work on it at work with a lift, or just do it at home.

yeah i noticed mine is starting to get damp around the bottom areas. Dont really know what good oil there is to put in. Any answers???

Going with the gm synthetic, made for it since it has the locker.

I has a similar problem as you, a small hole/crack in my cover, except mine was caused by a chunk of one of the spider gears hitting the cover when the G80 locker exploded during a launch under boost.

Are you replacing the cover with a cast aluminum? Or just a stock replacement?
