Fluid change

just got finished up with the tranny and diff fluid change. easy change with no problems. diff fluid looked really nasty i wish i wouldnt have waited so long! just hit 7500 miles.

little bit of advice maybe, when draining the tranny you might try to remove the fill plug to give it an extra vent because when i pulled the drain plug instead of a smooth flow out the fluid kinda burped out and splashed out of my catch pan making a huge mess!

i filled it back with royal purple and will fill everyone in on my results! hopefully it makes a noticeable difference as my tranny has been really hard to shift until its warmed up significantly
