Easy to weld the bung to the rear cover of my 12 bolt. Just use it for tough heads ups, class, etc.
Heard of guys running Dexron ATF for gear lube (One guy said "all the time"). Not sure about that deal. I'm too old to weld up the gears in the lights and go for a ride. LOL

I helped on a Comp car years ago, where ATF was tried in the diff.
It ran E/SM at the time (old format) and right on the record.
It was losing nearly .10 each pass.
After 3 qualifying attempts, we could hardly push the car.
Tore it up pretty good...
Used gear oil from then on.
