Yea, unfortunately that's not in the cards right now, and it's been a solid car to this point.

That's the plan, but I'm getting it fixed. If we get a handful of years out of it, I'll get my money back and we still need a big vehicle for now.

UPS left at the entrance of driveway. Surprised no one stole it, then I lifted the first box and I could see how anyone who would’ve tried to was probably going to have a bad time.

Don’t get me wrong. Im keeping an eye on the weather to possibly install my new suspension and change fluids this weekend.

Motul has been hard to get for a while now. Gear 300 has been on terminal back order and even 300V can be a bit spotty sometimes. If you are looking for transmission/diff try redline if it is available in your area.

I just went back to Redline for this reason. Been using Redline since my 3000GT VR4, only switched to Motul for this platform and while it was great, the Redline feels exactly the same at a lower cost and it's everywhere

I didn't care for the Motul. I do like their engine oil though but as much as the car gets driven anymore I may switch to a cheaper alternative.

It got rid of a crunchy 3rd to 4th shift for me over the OEM fluid so I can say it did something for me personally, but I think any fluid probably would've. I'm happy to be back with Redline, admittedly
