Please let me know how you manage to do the Front Diff without dropping the reinforcement place. All guides and people doing it, seem to have done it.

I am yet to attempt it as I haven't bothered to buy the bolts for it.
I thought the TC was a bit more toward the rear of the car. So going off what you're saying it must be my rear diff that has the slight leak. I'll investigate more. I'm having a local shop do the front & rear diff and TC fluid change. I'll recalibrate the TC using ISTA software. You referenced the reinforcement plate and I misunderstood. My mind went to the subframe that's a tight squeeze between the TC. So you have to replace the bolts on the reinforcement plate? I def didn't purchase new ones
