05 MT - I drained and filled my rear differential, and MT transmission today. Both needed it, as they were very dark. There was small copper looking shavings in both. 1st gear was a little sticky before hand, now it's great! Used Redline 75/90 in the diff. Royal Purple Syncromax in the tranny. at his will become a regular 30k maintenance item for me moving forwards.

Definitely do. I always enjoy reading them and it's nice to have a place to have all your records if you don't already have a spreadsheet logging all that maintenance info.

Fresh fluids are always a good idea

I just changed my tranny and diff fluid last month - used Redline MTL for the transmission and Redline 75W90 for the diff.
