I have an 02 dodge that I blew the spider gears in last summer, so I rebuilt the factory LSD with a few extra clutches to make it more of a posi, and now its starting to make alot of grinding when going around corners.

You think I can just change fluid and put some new friction modifier in, or do I need to rebuild it again because the clutches are seeing so much extra force being stacked the way they are.

Also someone said I might even have a cracked spider gear already that hasn't completely broken apart.

I did the same thing and mine groans and makes popping noises too, but it still works like a champ!
if it ever stops working I will probably just weld it or get a detroit

So to the dodge dealer and get some friction modifier add a lil bit try it out if it needs more add some more, I think it comes in 8oz bottles, mine did the same when I restacked mine, sounded like a kink, kink kink, going around bends real slow and in reverse.

I put the FM in there when I rebuilt it...you think it needs more? or should I go ahead and do a fluid change with new FM?

Try more FM. If it's that tight, a little more probably won't make it slip.

Mine slips like nuts with no FM at all because it's loose enough to not grip, and tight enough to groan-- perfect!
