Not really. An automatic transmission has friction parts that wear, heat up, etc. This is what causes the fluid to smell and look funny. A open differential just has gears. So with respect to fluid inspection, it's much like a manual transmission. -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
