Lately, I have noticed more inner rear wheelspin when applying throttle exiting turns. Is it me or the car?

I have 36,000+ miles on my 2001 GTS.

What type of differential is in the car?
Does it get worn out?
What options do I have? Quaife?

Thanks.

Change the dif fluid - make sure to use synthetic with
friction modifier.
It's worth the time to add the drain plug as listed in
illistrated upgrades -
It's possible for the clutch components to wear out -
but do the fluid change first before looking elsewhere.
The friction modifier - like the fluid - can deteriate.

Fluid was changed at 24,000 miles. Is it time for a change again?

Questionable - but it wouldn't hurt to know know the results.
Who changed it the last time - maybe I'm a skeptic, but
I would make sure to verify the product used - these difs run hot and it's important
to get the right stuff in there, anything other than full
synthetic will break down too quick. Most of the oil change
places don't carry it, I think it is 140/75W or close
The first time I changed mine, I went to the 2 Dodge dealers in
town and neither one had it - go figure. I had to mail order it.
