What are youa ll using to replace your fluids if I might ask? Wasnt sure if this is any different for turbo apps or not but I do have the GReddy TT setup. Thanks for any help on the matter I'm just learning as I go.

The above link doesnt say anything about clutch fluid. All you need for clutch fluid is DOT 3 brake fluid. And for the tranny and diff. read the link above.

Well after reading the link above I was thinking of going with the Motul 300 75W90 fluid for the transmission but they sell it in liters so I'm guessing I need 2 bottles of this for the tranny??? Now as for the differential it seems I use the same thing but I'm all messed up as far as how much the tranny and diffential are each going to take quart wise. Also as far as the clutch only needed DOT 3 brake fluid if I use DOT 4 or DOT 5.1 Motul brake fluid am I risking anything or are they just impovements and maybe overkill? I'm doing searches on these topics but figured a post couldn't hurt. Thanks again for any and all help.

Make sure the transmission oil is a GL4 spec oil not a GL5, the diff uses a GL5 spec oil.

Cheers
