Rear end chatter

Hey guys, 2003 in sig. when going around corners slow I can feel and hear a chatter or vibration coming from what I think is the rear end. I am running amsoil 75/140 in it and added some friction modifier. Do you think my clutches are shot and making noise or do I need to add more friction modifier ?

Sounds like you need to add more friction modifier.

Add 1/4 to 1/3 of a tube at a time until it stops.

I wonder if the effects of the modifier wear off over time because it seams to be getting worse with the more I drive it. I changed the fluid and added the modifier last fall.

Yes it seems to, I have always had to add more after a lube change sometimes up to a year later.
