Is dealer correct?
Was in today for some RRT work. He said it was also time for trans / diff / transaxle fluid changes. He quoted about $350 to do it all, way more than I can afford. I told him no, i'll do it myself and he said:
" the transmission and both differentials need friction modifier"
Really, in the tranny?
And I am pretty sure I don't have a limited slip rear diffy, so why would I need it in the front and rear diffy's? I think this guy is FOS but I need to make sure.
