Jimmy told me this several times, and I'm pretty sure he is correct. I wish I had tried it before we had that 5.00 gear in the 12 bolt go away. Jimmy said it does affect the 12 bolt as well. He also said to use API GL-6 lube. I tend to listen to Jimmy, I've known him since about 1980 or so, and every time I've ignored his advice, it has cost me, one way or another.
