Shift the breather fitting on the axle tube in closer to the center of the car if its not already there. Also fit baffle plates with tubes for the axles to pass thru in the housing on both sides of the third member in such a manner that the baffle plate is closer to each wheel than the end of the piece of tube. With these in place the lube will be retained in the area around the third member for longer. What is happening at the moment is that all the lube is ending up in the axle tube during long fast corners ( particularly on slicks ). If you were to compete in a longer event the third member will experience early failure due to lack of lubrication.
