I've had the gasket and RP fluid for a while now. My 2000 Z28 has 38k miles on it. Is this too soon to change the fluid?

I've been meaning to do a 35k miles service on it.

I don't think there is such a thing as too soon. If you've got the parts might as well do it. I just did mine at 58,000 and it was really dark. Also quieted the whining down on the freeway some.

Yeah I also have my rp fluid and gasket sitting in my room, just haven't done it.

Buy your self a TA cover...then you can change it once a year if you want..the fluid is kinda cheap...and it cant hurt..

On the up side I just did mine, I had 50+k on mine and now the car accelerates smoother (I also had my tranny flushed too)..everything is slick as hell

Huh... I'm just kind of nervous about the adjustments on the TA cover. Maybe it can help limp mt 10b along till I get the cash for a 12b.

I could have done it today, but there were no lifts available, so I changed my oil on stands.

I would not put changing the rear diff fluid of a 40K mile DD at the top of my priority list. Wouldn't hurt, but not exactly a huge priority item.

my car has 91k would it hurt to flush the tran now?

What's the TQ spec for the diff bolts?? 15 ft-lbs?

I have never had to think about changing my diff. fluid ---because I have had my rear end replaced 3 times ---There is always new fluid in it. I have my tranny fluid replaced every 30,000 mi.

I would--you never know how it was taken care of.

Question you gotta ask your self....is new fluid better than old fluid....if yes...then replace

Granted I dont think you need to replace it as often as your motor oil..but every 50k...what the hell
