The fluid is $30 a pint USD. The fluid is specific to the Versatrak differential, and is not available outside of GM.
I've done quite a few of these differential concerns over the years. There's also a actuator on the side of the carrier housing that goes bad, be sure to check that also if you're chasing a chatter or binding concern.

I went to a annual car show a couple weeks ago that's held here in Wisconsin. Its a 2 day event for the show, and they ususally get about 1200+ cars. After the show on Saturday, a bar a few miles outside of town has there annual burnout competition. A fellow TR owner I met up there was nice enough to video tape my 22 seconds of fame and post it on TB.com. Here's a video of my GN doing a burnout: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLVXKGIof_0

so, does it run better than it did before...outsi de of the chip change? I couldn't hook the track. I had a pair of 26" ET Streets bolted on the back w/18 psi of air in them and I would spin all thru first, into second, and start getting traction once I was past the 1000 ft mark. The car does feel a heck of a lot stronger than before. Track prep was pretty terrible, and the daytime temp wasn't helping matters.

I suspect it looks really nice.
You really need a better camera? Better camera shots. Took these at the gate to my driveway:   Here's some from the track:   90 Degrees and humid, sitting in a black car that the A/C needs to be recharged in with long pants and a helmet on. Not my idea of an ideal day off.

Well, the car is all dialed in. I've got about 1000 miles on it now, and I must say it runs a hell of a lot better thanks to a TT chip. I was able to make the 2.5 hour drive to Great Lakes Dragway to hold it wide open and fine tune the car. Everything on the scanmaster reads 780-800 and 0.0 under WOT. I'm not sold that my added gauges are reading correctly, so its time to get some new ones (these ones are only a year old, but they're from Summit). The only gripe I got with my new drivetrain is that I've got a front pump seal thats seeping. I have a warranty on the transmission, but that company is acting like a real dickface and won't cover the repair now. They first had the TCC wired wrong, and I had to have that corrected before I could drive it. Oh well, its not that bad of a job to do, just a little time consuming is all. Other than that, I'm driving the hell out of it. And last weekend I smoked the living shit out of a 'built' honduh with it

Number one was kinda cheesy because all the cars except the charger looked like they belonged in the circus. However, number two was absolutely terrible. I didn't like how a 'hemi' challenger and a 'yenko' camaro got all messed up. #3, Tokyo Drift, was actually pretty good and the most believable out of the series. #4 was better than #2, and they made it where you could go from #1 to 4 and you really didn't miss anything. I saw #5 last week and it was better than I thought it would be. Like Gordy, there wasn't enough racing scenes. I was also kinda pissed there really wasn't a good selection of muscle cars in it either.... And how many times are they going to wreck that Charger and resurrect it??

I live about two hours from the Volo Auto Museum. They sell muscle cars, etc. along with these movie cars... Some of there stuff is nice, and then some of it is 'real' without any documentation to back it up. There prices are high because they are in the Chicago-land.
Its a nice place to visit on a day trip, but I wouldn't buy anything there.

Well, I took it for about a 100 mile cruise yesterday, and for the most part everything went well. The only trouble I had was sitting at a stop light in Madison, the car stalled out twice. Then it acted like it was misfiring... It smoothed right out and was fine after that. The car drove like a million bucks, and I forgot how much other interior stuff I have to fix yet, but its no big deal. I didn't get into it hard, but stepped into it a few time just to create a couple pounds of boost and hear that turbo whine. Going to put some more miles on it this weekend as-is, then next week change my FPR and install my TT chip.
