100 Miles? I have been reading on here, most people are doing their first oil change at 500-600 miles. I am doing my first oil change today 575 miles on her now. I plan on doing my Tranny and Rear End at 1500-1600 miles (after the break in period).

That's a bit early, but...to each their own.

Can't hurt to do the tranny, the rear diff, the oil & oil filter

Most crap (metal filings etc) found in my oil. Then some in the rear diff. I didn't notice much in the tranny fluid.

If you're doing it yourself, read through some threads here...easiest to use some kind of pump for the tranny as it's more than difficult to fit a bottle in there

Can also help with the rear diff

100 miles is too early to change any fluids. The reason for changing the oil at 500 and the tranny, rear diff and oil at 1500 is to remove any shavings left over from the manufacturing process and from break in. 100 miles is too early for your car to flush the majority of the shavings out and will require another change in a few months.
