Old rear diff fluid

Good question. I'd say by the time you hear/feel something you may already have damage. Change it now, it's not expensive or difficult -- I did mine just a month or two ago. Or are you already having problems? If not, just do it my mileage, at the recommended interval.

yea my mechanic saw the fluid and was like "wow there is much metal." The fluid was almost metallic silver/black. The magnet had a lot of metal shavings on it too.

It's actually sorta normal for the magnet to have a fair buildup...but if the 'shavings' were good-sized, you may want to have your mech take a closer look at the diff itself. Just my semi-educated opinion.

yea the shavings were a decent size. Yea im gonna need him to look into it. Could anything else be causing that problem though, like the transmission? The trasnmission was replaced under warranty about 22k miles ago by Infiniti so i dont know

i was driving on the highway today and i was going to change lanes and stepped on the gas, but the car wasnt accelerating much so i pushed a little harder on the gas and heard a big "thud" sound from under the center console and the car got into gear and started accelerating a little faster with some lag. Im assuming that sound came from the transmission when it was going to change gears? Car feels so sluggish under acceleration.
