I'm going to change the fluids as soon as i get a chance this weekend. On the differentials, the site I read said to clean the inside with brake cleaner, Is this ok or will the parts also get seperation anxiety?
Heres the instructions I found to use if someone wants to look over them and make sure its correct:
Differntials fluid change

Tranny & Transfer Case

Thanks,

I would rec the brake cleaner also. Always a good idea to clean them up. Refill with Lucas. No additives necessary although they will prolly try to sell you some. They can usually hurt more than help once the diff gets HOT!

Refill it with good quality fluids, and you are golden. The only time to ever use additives is LSD additive and only if you have one.

Change them all. If you have to ask or if you question it, CHANGE IT. Personally, that's what I do along with an entire ignition upgrade anytime I bring home a new toy. I know it's a matter of opinion and personal preference, but I swear by all the stuff Lucas puts out. I got it in my engine w/ every change, tranny, transfer, both axles, p/s, every fuel fill up; you name it, I put a Lucas product in it. In all 4 cars BTW.

Brands are like noses everyone has one. Get a Dexron/Mercon III fluid from a quality supplier(not store brand) and you will be good.
Whatever you do NO ATF+4 fluid. Its the wrong stuff for your tranny.

Hey guys!
Newby on this also so I have the same issue. Like I see, I can't change the tranny fluid to prevent later problems. Now, I would change the transfer fluid. Some of you said that use a Dextron/Mercon III for the transfer? Which one is the best one? Lucas have this product? And on axles, how I do it?

According to the website he listed it states that the Dana 30 and 44 have the screw in drain plug and that the 35 and 8.25 have the rubber plug. Is this true and standard across the board? or does it all vary?
