Should I.....or Shouldn't I.......
Replace my Transmission Fluid (Manual), and Differential Fluid.
I am at 163K on my '98.5 2.8L and have never touched these fluids. It's my undersatnding they are Lifetime Fluids.
Am I just opening up the proverbial "Can of Worms" if I change these fluids or would it be alright to go for it? Any problems I should anticipate? Seals are good so far.
I hope to get at least another 100K miles out of this car.

STFA. This has been covered many a times
ZF, the transmission maker, recommends a fluid change interval of 30k miles.
Audi, the installer of the transmission, says lifetime.
Pretty easy to figure out which one to listen to.
I would drain the fluid, drop the pan, clean the magnets so they don't look like Sonic the Hedgehod, replace the filter and pan gasket. Refill with X qts and done!
