Driving with the new fluid is noticeably smoother but not significantly so. The differential fluid was dirty with lots of metal bits on the magnetic drain plug from the clutch wear - I will likely replace it again at 60K 
This is the pump I got, but it was <$5 when I purchased it before Xmas Lubrimatic Fluid Quart Pump 4cc : Amazon.com : Automotive The screw top didn't fit the Redline bottles, but it wasn't a problem. I left it at my buddy's house since he'll probably make more use out of it. If I have to, I will just buy a new one 30K miles from now |
thanks for the info, mr. jar!
yah, my owner's manual never stated to change the MT fluid when following the mildest maintenance schedule so im probably still okay. the gearbox shifts no different than new, and i know last year i drove in 0F with no issue.
i think im going to do the diff then.
so i guess all i need is the pump and crushwasher and oil. thanks!
