[QUOTE="steve twyver, post: 541667, member: 62196"] The manual transmission does not require flushing. It has a drain just like your engine and will adequately drain. It takes automatic transmission fluid. The differential does not have a drain and you must remove the rear cover (6 or 8 bolts). There is no gasket so be sure to properly clean the metal to metal surface and then use the correct silicon sealer. The super black sealer stuff didn't work for me and it started to leak several weeks later. I had to redo it. I used gray automotive silicon which so far it hasn't leaked. Recommend the OEM sealer and pay the extra. Brake fluid makes sense to flush since brakes can be exposed to heat cycles and possible condensation build-up which crystallizes hygroscopic brake fluid. I am quite certain, the clutch cylinder is inside the bell housing not accesible until the transmission is removed. Going from memory on that. [/QUOTE]
