whats a tranny fluid change cost? who do you trust?

what about the diff change?

Well, my favorite pic is the one in my sig, on course at one of the local PCA time trials. That particular course has a long sweeper that I can get up on the rev limiter in 3rd gear (about 110, IIRC), going into a hairpin in 2nd at about 30. I call it the "brakes, don't fail me now!" corner.

Since I do all my maintenance, my cost is all in materials. Mobil 1 tranny fluid runs about $20-$25 for 4 quarts, diff fluid runs around $7-$8 / qt, and you need about 1.5 qts, plus the GM differential additive, which is $5-$6 per bottle.

HTH, thanks to all for the kind words, and have a good one,
Mike

Good to see some folks using all the digits on the odo.

Now I've got to figure out what kind of party to have when she clicks over 150K. Hmm, maybe some LG LTs? A new set of V710s?

I've got it! How 'bout a day at the track???
