Lastly, what is the redline fluid used? 75w-90 right?

This is a good DIY that has everything you need:

Generally speaking, how often do I need to change out diff fluid and spark plugs out of curiosity?

Diff fluid is dependent upon how hard you drive the car. If you track it regularly... probably every track day, or at least every other.

On the street I'd say every 20-30k is fine. Some people go much, much longer with no issue, but as I said it's dependent on driving conditions.

Spark Plugs... those go a while. First scheduled plug change is 105,000 miles.

For some reason I thought you needed to change out spark plugs more often. That's all I needed to know, thanks.

Oh come on. Changing out a shift knob takes 30 minutes tops and that's if you're SUPER careful.

Not really. I wasn't sure where the pry points were but after I fiddled with them for 30 minutes, I was done in less than an hour.

Yes, the thread said "hey does anyone remember how to remove kick plates" because I had resistance taking off the passenger side where the double sided tape had bonded to the running board.

Once I figured out what was causing the problem, it was cake.
