Default g/f bought a 96 3.8

not to bad of a car. no pix. 120,000 miles. antifreeze was gross, flushed it out. changed the oil, new belt.
gonna do spark plugs, wires, and a fuel filter friday or saturday.

head gaskets are fine, looks like they were replaced under the "program"

my question is, how do i drain and fill the rear diff..?????????

i see no fill plug []


otherwise, very little rust, needs new struts and springs all around, and slight problem with the a/c. but i think it just needs recharged (psi = ambeint temp whencold)


thanks.


jason.

[sm=welcomesign.gif] Your right there is no drain plug the easy way is to remove the cover plate to drain, don't forget to get a new gasket. And the fill hole is on the right looking forward half way from the diff and tire.
