Yes.

That is correct.

Toyota says to check every 15k. I dont think they recommend changing fluid at all under normal conditions. I would change the fluid every 30 if I had a clutched LSD. Open diff? I go 100k

The inspection isn’t free. They charged him for that checklist.

Unless you change the pedal ratio, power brakes in a mustang of that era always feel spongy. I hate them, even with the KH calipers in the front its too much assist.

Its a great upgrade, but there was something going on with those cutlass brakes if they were like you describe. A 4 wheel drum car is pretty much fine around town, can get a little iffy in the rain, and when you get the brakes hot, but on dry pavement, in normal conditions you shouldn’t notice much of a difference.

What does quality even mean, Phaedrus?
