I would suggest using Motorcraft Friction Modifier, as Ford has requested this in there limited-slip rearend. The reason for it is to make the clutches work properly, without this you may have your rearend remain locked while turning short corners obviosly cause a chattering from the back of the car. Im sure that using the friction modifier with the Royal purple is fine and would just save your a$$ if the royal purple isn't a replacement of the friction modifier....just my 2 cents

Yeah that's what I decided to do Ford synthetis gear oil with Ford friction modifier. Gears are going in later today.
