Re: NOW changing fluid....WAS Differential Gasket???
 

Not me anyway... I tried it once, and from what I could tell, it only
removed about 75% of the oil. I finally said screw it, and have
removed the diff cover ever since hehehehe. Pain in the ass, but job
done right.

metal particles, water, and gunk collect at the lowest point. This is one of
the reasons most auto-trans have no drain plug, they want you to actually
check/change the filter and remove the contaminants.

Re: Differential Gasket???
 

I use gaskets and no RTV front and rear. No leaks no problems.
