Should I change Trans/Rear Diff fluid?

Just hit 1500 miles, did my first oil change at 1300. I'v read some talk of people changing out the transmission fluid and rear diff fluid at this point. Just curious why people feel the need to change gear oil that is so new?

Depends if you are tracking the car or not...read the Boss owner's manual. I believe it states that the first change should occur after 4 track hours or high speed events and subsequent changes every 12 hours for both the tranny and diff. I only have 4500 miles on my car and I have done the diff fluid twice and the tranny once. I switched to royal purple in both.
 
I had the same question JB. I have not tracked it yet but I have driven like I was on the track quite a bit. I think I will change evrything once I hit 30k. later this year just to be safe.
