Unless you have put 15-20k more miles on it I would save my money & just do the diff.

Check out the Under the Hood forum. There are the "how to" for both of these items.
My piece of advice is to buy one of those cheap little hand pumps from Autozone. Your hand will get very tired from squeezing those bottles

I have the little pump thing from Autozone. It has little barded tabs to hold it in the filler hole.BREAK THESE OFF BEFORE YOU USE THE PUMP. I was using my pump and one broke off. I could not find it anywhere. It appeared that it might have went into the tranny. I flushed the tranny two times with nothing coming out. I finally gave up and dumped the fluid to my recycle bucket and there it was in the bottom of the drain pan.

COVER YOUR ASS AND BREAK THEM OFF BEFORE HAND.


btw...there are two good threads with pictures on S2KCA

If it's a weekend that I'm free, I can come down and help. After all the help from everyone last time, the least I could do is help someone else.
