diff/tranny service
hey boys, Im gonna replace all the seals and gaskets on my 535, from the rear tranny seal to the differntial. I have never done this before, and am wondering if any of you guys have anything i should watch out for, im gonna try this stuff called 5on5 on the gasket itself. its made by locktite, and is supposed to be great instead of silicone. it cleans off easy if i ever have to do this again, though hopefully not. any way ive got the basic tools i nead, is there anything i should watch out for, that a wanna be do it yourselfer might not know about. im probably gonna wear a shower cap, so i dont get diff fluid in my hair, but other than that.....?
