Changing fluids

I've got the Vette sitting on jack stands and am going to do a coolant flush. While its up on stands should I also service the 6sp and the differential? The car is a 99 with 14,xxx miles no leaks and no transmission problems.

Probably not, but I've always been amazed at the improvement you feel from changing diff/tranny fluids...and do that regularly if possible.

Thats pretty much what I was thinking also, if a fluid change isn't needed, leave it alone.

I wouldn't. Good mileage gate for fluid change is 30K. The diff and trans should be good.
