Tuning the Sealed Differential

The differential is sealed to maintain consistent long-term performance. Changing the oil in the differential with either lower or higher viscosity oil will 

vary the performance characteristics of the differential. From the factory, the differential is filled with black lithium grease, but can also be tuned with 

silicone differential oil. Only use silicone oil in the differential. The differential has to be removed from the transmission and disassembled to change/

replace the oil.

Follow the steps below to access and refill the sealed differential:

1. Remove the four 2.5x10mm cap screws from the bottom of the transmission to remove the differential cover.

2. Slide the differential out of the transmission case. 

3. Remove the 2.5x10mm button-head cap screws from the differential and carefully pull the differential halves apart. 

Work over a towel to collect any fluid that drips from the differential.

4. Drain the fluid from the 

differential. You may wish to 

remove the spider gears from the 

differential to make this easier.

5. Place the spider gears back into 

the differential carrier (if you 

removed them). Fill the carrier 

with fluid until the cross pins  

are covered. 

6. Rejoin the differential halves, 

using care to align the screw 

holes. Be sure the rubber gasket 

is in place or the differential  

may leak.

7. Install the 2.5x10mm button-head 

cap screws and tighten securely.

8. To reinstall the differential, reverse 

the steps.
