Listers,
FWIW I put Lube Gard in the diffs and the tranny on my two MUTT's and it
helped both of them. It took the whine out of one and I think that they
both shift easier.

I used half of one bottle in each diff then a whole bottle in the
tranny. I have no association with the company and as you say,,,,
As always - mileage varies.
