hey! just changed out my diff, tranny, and brake fluid today.
went w/ redline for diff & tranny, and ate super blue for brake fluid. the ride feels smoother (or it's just my imagination).

changing the diff/tranny is pretty easy. drain and pump in new fluid. just get a good pump. the hardest part was smelling it (*faint*)! yuck.

while you're at it, you should change your brake fluid. it was easier than i thought (and took only about 10-15 minutes)!

overall, i think it's easier than changing your oil (taking off that plastic panel is annoying). diy and save yourself some $.

if a girl can do it, you can definitely do it!

As for shops, for anything at all, GTM no questions asked. I trust them with everything regarding my Z. You will not be disappointed. Sam gets busy but patience is a price to pay sometimes for service that excels your expectations.

They are in Rancho.
