Along with the new plugs/filters, it feels like a completely different car - as responsive with Sport off as it used to be with Sport on.

It appears that the extended maintainence that I dropped $1400 for has paid for itself. I did pony up some cash to have the rear diff fluid changed at my request. And I forgot to tell them 10W-60, so they put in 5W-30 - I'll change it back in 5k miles...

My question - any break-in procedure for the new clutch? The SA just said "take it easy and don't do any racing for a little while."

Hopefully they didn't put 5W-30 in your diff!!!!
It should take 75W-140 I believe.

I just had this done today at the stealer, since I had a drip coming from the lower diff plug - only CDN$45 in labour so I said go right ahead (perhaps I should call them the "dealer" for today ).
$77 for the oil and $10 for two shiny new drain plugs/gaskets.
