Ok guys so i've had my Z for a little over a month now. I figured i'd replace all the fluids just so everything was fresh.

The first fluid i'm doing is the tranny fluid and diff. I did some research and it looks like redline was best.

Next will be engine coolant, break fluid, power stearing fluid, clutch reservoir. (Oil is always maintained so thats not on the list).

I was gonna do a flush on all these if possible but my big question is should i flush and replace or just replace? I've heard flushes can sometimes damage things like the tranny.

Any info would be great, thanks guys!

Very nice thread but the tranny flush link is broken. I find lots of forums that talk about changing the fluid but no flushing. Guess ill just do a fluid swap then.

 

Change will be fine

 

THe flush is overkill for changes except coolant. A simple coolant drain will drain 80 percent of coolant. You want all the coolant hidden elsewhere besides the radiator.

Brakes drain fill bleed is a 100 flush. You are seeing fresh fluid when you bleed.

 

Thanks for all the info guys. Did the drain and replace today, no flush. So far shifts feel really clean.

Eh noticed i still had 10 crush washers left. (thats how many i had when i gave them the pack). Looks like they didn't use them on the drain plugs. Hope nothing starts leaking.
