I want to use gorilla snawt,but seems like the seller is having a technical issue or something.Not trying to make the seller look bad,but look at the recent feedback.I tried gorilla snawt a few years ago.Worked really good in my diff:ring & pinion gears & cvds!
The odonnell seems like it would work,worth trying.What do you guys think?

Try this: The best lube

If you can seal the trans (use some rtv on the halves before bolting it together) the lucas or stp oil stabilizers seem to be the best bet for metal on metal contact.

Wont it still leak out through the bearings and in between the bearings and shafts??? I am really curious as I would like to run the best thing through my Savage trans. I have seen those Lucas oil stabilizers on display at the auto parts store. They have a cool display inside a perspex cover where you can see how it sticks to the gears. I think it would work really well but was worried that it would leak out.

No, it won't leak, it's not that thin. Just seal the case halves as Linc mentioned.

I'm going to use a thin coating of odonnell,then put some lucas G3 racing grease over.http://www.lucasoil.com/products/dis...acing%20Grease .Seems like it will do good.If it slings out to the case,will try just the lucas.Filling it up with oil stabilizers would add a decent amount of weight,probably would be good for a dual brushless setup though.
Thanks for the replys

You only need enough of the stabilizer to cover the teeth of the lowest gear, once it moves it will spread the stuff on all of the contact surfaces. Filling the case full would cause some serious drag issues!

As for it leaking past the bearings, the rubber sealed bearings seem to stop it, plus at rest you do not have enough product to fill the case up to the bearing lines.

The display in the auto parts stores is pretty cool. I always enjoy seeing the stabilizer stick to the gears.

I will give it a try it sometime,don't know why I didn't think of doing it like that .
I bet it could be used in sealed diffs also.
