IT's much quicker to just pull the one center and replace the clutches. Make sure you read the instructions about clutch order of installation.

Same problem

I have a 93 with very low miles. Chatters after warming up, never for the first few miles. I am pretty confident I am the first one to have removed the diff cover. After 16,000 orig miles why would it chatter around corners with probably the factory fluid? I wouldn't think the clutches would have any problems in that short mileage. Orig axle for sure.

I replaced with Amsoil and kept spoon feeding additive with no luck also. Figure eights and all. Still moaning and chattering around corners. I used Sta Lube additive, should I waste the time with Mopar, it was equivalent.

I may have to replace clutches, how hard is it to do? Does Randy's provide good instruction? What tools other than common handtools are required?

Sorry about the hijack, but why reinvent the wheel here.
