Differential Drain Plug Kit

[B17Crew]

Hello–I took my LT4 in for routine service, one of the requests was to have the differential fluid changed.

The service manager suggested that I retro fit a traditional style drain plug to make future servicing easier, and more effective because the fluid would drain from the bottom of the differential instead of using a siphon to remove the existing fluid.

I’ve been aware of the retro fit kit, but, I have several concerns:

• I want to keep the car original. Will this take away from the cars value?

• Also, has anybody had this installed, and do you have any pros or cons about the kit.

Thanks!

Rear End

I bought my 96 and it had one already installed, I havet changed rear end fluid on it yet, but was thinking of getting one installed on my 74, or buying a new cover with one on it. I take the the cover off to drain it, and put new seal on it, The plug would make it alot easier.

Wamp and SLICKMAN,

thank you for the input. I took a look at the Corvette Clinics kit, it looks to straight forward and easy to install. I think I’m going to go ahead and order one.

Thanks for the help!
