Well let's see here... I dug up my invoice -

Yep, it's what you said. (and yes "tape, protector" for some damn reason)

I don't know why I wrote down 9956-41-801 for the diff., but the receipt says 9956-41-800.

I got it already, I dont know wheres my invoice (its in my car I think) but these should be the part number, and I think your receipt is right.

Top plug:Y601-17-495
Bottom Plug:Y602-17-495 (Magnetic plug)
Both Gasket Rear Covers:Y601-17-361.

top-plug:99511-1800
gasket:99562-1800
bottom-plug:0810-17-121 (Magnetic plug)
gasket:99564-1800

I just changed my oil today .... both transmission and rear diff .... took me 3 fooking hours ! yea Im slow .... but hey its my first time so I think its ok ... pain in the *** to take the bolts out with my hand, tried like 30 mins just for one bolt with no luck, in the end I have to *kick* it to get it loose ..... Kick all 4 in 15 minutes .... not so bad. the next painful part was to add oil to the transmission, Rear diff was pretty easy because I have enough room to let my bottom go upside down so I can squeeze it ... but the transmission part has no room and That alone took me one hour ....

I could've pay someone to do all these, nice and easy, only 50 bucks. not even 1 hour of work. but the more I work on my car, the more I love my car :D

P.S : damn btw, I strongly recommend everybody to change their gear and rear diff oil more often. First change was when I hit 5K miles, now Im 21K miles. God damn it all those dirt that got stuck on both Magnetic plug. I still have them next to my desk maybe I should take a picture of it before I throw it away.

First time probably took me longer than that - mainly 'cause I had a problem getting the old oil to go into the drain pan instead of on the floor!

I used a long vinyl hose to transfer the lube from the bottle to the diff. and tranny; that seemed to help, I know clearance is pretty limited underneath.

Yeah, the old stuff usually looks pretty bad, gotta make you feel good about changing it!

So we have a different washer for the diff drain and fill plug, but it seems that finishlineperformance only lists one type of washer for the diff. What gives?

We poured the transmission fluid in where the shifter goes into the transmission. A bit of work to take the shifter out but much easier to pour.

Yes. they're different.

The transmission has the same washer. but the rear diff, the top one is a *brown/bronze-ish* looking washer. while the bottom one looks almost the same as the one in transmission, except that its thinner.

Well if I had a longer tube I could've done it in 15 minutes

Lesson learned, will buy a long long tube before my next transmission/rear diff oil change (due in 10K miles)

I hear you on that.

I wish I had a pump that screwed on to fit the bottle for the Amsoil 75w90...

It takes like a hundred or two pumps to fill the diff.

lol :P

yea ..... I learned mine thru the hard way .........

So far I did all the oil change myself .... changed the intake myself, installed the ram air duct myself... lets see what should I do next ? maybe its time to do some harder stuff ?

Make yourself a custom grounding kit.

An exhaust isn't too hard to install once you learn how to conquer the rubber hangers.

Changing out your flywheel for a lighter one would be considered harder.

Baby steps... baby steps.... then custom work.
