I know my X had the front driveshaft replaced just before I got it but didn't see any service done for any of these fluids. Having over 100K miles it was mostly long highway drives which is going to be much easier on the trans, TC, & diff's.

If anyone is going to do this and you're apprehensive, just PM me and I'll give you my cell # and we can talk & I'll help in any way.
Great write up! If you replaced the tranny fluid, did you get a new transmission pan as well? I'm trying to plan out this service for my X.

Also, I noticed a 14mm plug on the bottom of the engine in front of the engine oil pan. Do you have an idea what that one is for?
