Yeah I'm going to run to the local Ford dealer tomorrow. Is it just a limited slip additive? If this doesn't work guess I'll be looking to do a swap. And maybe looking for some fenders.....lol

Make sure you have a LS diff before you waste your money on that little bottle of stink... If you look at the tag on the rear end (it should be under one of the bolts that holds the cover on) it will have a L in the number if it is a limited slip. 3L55 is a 3.55 rear gear with limited slip, 4L10 is obviously a 4.10 with LS, etc.

Are you sure you aren't just feeling the torque converter unlock? It will unlock if you step on the brake pedal, and that can feel like a transmission slip if you're not used to it.

It's not as I'm slowing into the curve more of when I'm accelerating out of the curve something is going in and out whether it's the torque converter or limited slip locking and unlocking is about the best description of what I'm feeling.

Go into a parking lot and turn in a cirle clockwise and counter clockwise to see if the LS makes noice.
