> Come to think of it, I had a honda goldwing 1200. The clutch was a wet clutch. The transmission oil and clutch shared the same oil. That was the first time I saw limited slip oil. I'm guessing Limited slip oil isn't as slick as regular GL.
George, your motorcycle and your differential are really opposite cases.
When folks started using automotive synthetic oils in their wet clutch motorcycles, they found that the friction modifiers in the oil often caused unacceptable clutch slippage. Eventually a new JASO MA oil spec was established for motorcycle oils; these are less slippery than automotive synthetics so wet clutches won't slip.
In the case of limited slip differentials, you WANT their clutches to slip; otherwise they'll chatter and generally behave poorly. Pretty much since the first positraction differentials came out in the fifties, a friction modifier additive has been used to make the gear oil slipperier. But, as I mentioned earlier, the use of synthetic gear oils has pretty much eliminated the need for additives.
