Clutch fluid I would only do if it doesn't look clear anymore. The diff I can gurantee most people never do, for me once a year with redline 75w90 along with the transmission with mt-90

Second that, it will improve shift grind to at least some degree in most transmissions.

2nd and 4th gear grind is common with our transmission's they fixed the synchro issue with the 98+ spec transmission.
