Posi problem????? Rearend makes noises when making a left or right turn from a stop also when i nail the gas from a stop it wants to go to the left but during a burnout i still leave 2 marks poisi maybe? also if it is can i replace it myself or do i have to mess with the gears? HELP PLEASE 
Re: Posi problem????? Do you have adjustable LCA's on the car? If so, are they the same length and properly adjusted? If it spins both wheels, I suspect that it's working properly....Torsen had a Technical Service Bulletin about using posi additive to eliminate a "rusty screw" sound in some cars. Go to www.torsen.com and look at the FAQ section....Hope this helps....

Re: Posi problem????? I agree with Trackbird. The additive is supposed to make a difference and I have heard of others who didn't add it, had noise, and then changed the fluid, used the additive and the noises went away.
As far as the car going sideways during a burnout, mine does that every so often depending upon the angle of the pavement that I am on. One other thing to look at is could your rear end have shifted? Is one tire closer to the front or back lip of the fender than the other is? I have heard a few people complaining about this in the past.
Just some thoughts.

Re: Posi problem????? If you don't use posi additive, you will not hurt a Torsen, but they found that the additive will sometimes quiet a noisy diff that some cars seem to have....it's worth a shot.
Good Luck!!

Re: Posi problem????? I have the same problem. No LCA's on mine either. It seems to be getting louder. I'll be pulling the cover this weekend. My car is a 98 SS, is this limited to certain years?

Verdad Gallardo Re: Posi problem????? It sounds like you are starting to see "Torsen Bits" in the rear end. I suspect that you are starting to crack some of the internal gears in the posi. I suspect that it won't be long and you'll finish it off. Good luck!
