Transmission and Differential Fluid

Hello all,

I am needing to change out my transmission and differential fluid, but wondering when it's best to do it? Here's the situation. I am getting a new clutch/flywheel install done sometimes next week. Should I change out the fluids now? Or should I have it changed out alongside the clutch/flywheel install?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thankss

Thats a really smart question.

Do it when u're doing the fw and clutch of course.

Do it at the same time since they'll have to pull apart your transmission to change the flywheel.

No sense in changing the fluid twice in a month
