Nexx,

swing by autozone and buy one of these pumps to change your diff oil...


do it like this - pump goes directly into the bottle:

It doesnt need to screw into the fluid bottle. I actually went to a dollar store and found one that fits it...so i pour my fluid into it and screw the pump onto it......its clear plastic also, so i know about how much i have left as well as im pumping..

you will also need a 10mm allen socket to remove the diff fill and drain port.


you must do this with the car on the ground......or jacked up and level.......
I have a level on my car to check before and after i jack up to make all these fluid changes easy.

Chris - the axle click is a known issue and is part of the Technical Service Bulletin. You can get this done at the dealership for free (I think that's if you're under warranty, but it wouldn't hurt to ask).

Yeah, there are a few of things on the TSB, so it may behoove you to check them out.

Things are all right here. Grad school has me reading sht all the damn time (and I hate reading), though. Hopefully, when I can add "Dr." before my name, it'll all be worth it.

Your right Chris......I can tell you that your sacrifice to do this now in your life is a whole lot better than trying to do it after your married and or have kids.

Believe me, you will have plenty of time in the later part of life to enjoy your hard work.

Good luck !

Any of you guys ever had the door handle problem yet? I just got done replacing mine. It's so nice to be able to open my door from the outside again. Now I need to figure out why my window is acting screwy. Jake maybe you have some insight on the window. Also I'm replacing my pass side headlight tomorrow cuz it got all foggy and the headlight restore stuff that I bought sucks. Hopefully it won't be too difficult to swap out the bulbs in that cuz I know it didn't cone with the headlight since I only paid $107 for it.

No I replaced the door handle cuz part of it broke but when I had a shop look at it a while back they messed up my window and knocked it offtrack. I put it back on track but now sometimes when I use the auto up it will roll up and then roll back down a little and it almost never rolls down that little bit when I open the door so if I'm not careful, the window hits the top of my car when I close the door.

Ok guys, I'm not trying to start the anti-hella-flush thing again... but look at this one. This is the "rice-ification" of the Z.

Ya Jake I'm lazy too. It's just irritating that the window is supposed to roll down like 1/4 inch when you open the door and mine doesn't do that sometimes. I just gotta be careful to make sure I don't break it until I stop being lazy. I shouldve done it today. I had the outer door panel off just needed to take the inner one off.
