I had one them that I used to fill it last time it didn't work to well. I was tempted to drop the shocks to let the rear hang lower

do not use the fill hole in the girdle, use the fill hole in the housing. the fill hole in the girdle overfills it and gear oil will be coming out every orifice of that bitch if the vent doesnt blow it all over the underside of the car first.

That's why you pull the fill plug and fill till it comes out that hole...

 

[clement]

either way, you only fill it to the lower fill hole in front by the pinion, not to the up to the top hole in the girdle.

im one of the guys that knows that it hold 2 quarts... and i put 2 quarts in it... i dont use the fill hole to make sure its filled.

not really but i had the clutch in as soon as i head the bang. lucky for me i had disk brakes on it to keep the axle in
